You get a lot for your money , could see myself in this little hot rod

Surprisingly by its size you'd think it's a roomy car inside, it ain't its bloody cramp  lovely and smooth though

Yep. I've noticed that most Jags are pretty cramped inside.......having nothing like the space of the Omega.

Shouldn't be a problem if you happen to be a shortarse.

They do have a certain 'olde world charm' that you don't get in a BMW, Merc or Audi.

ouch......      not come across any mention of this issue till now..... and it has me worried.....thanks for the heads up.... very informative....   

 been looking at 53/04 V6 estates for a couple of grand ...  it HAS to be an estate no matter what i get..... 

might still win the 51 elite estate  on bay of fleas on sunday,  so no sudden moves just yet.....    but i'm preparing the ground....   I need to replace or repair by the 12th of july....    when i start doing galactic miles again.... 


figured if i get something this weekend/early next week i have time to have it serviced and checked out (assuming it needs it) ....

there's a nice looking 2004 53 plate 2.5 V6SE Estate  up in St Helen's  , but you can be damn sure skippy if i go up there to check it out  ,  i'll be sticking my hand up inside those sills.   

can't afford much newer at the moment,   trying to balance the difference between  age and mileage....  was aiming for sub100k if i could get it and under £2.5k

Pains me to say it, but I'd go for the 5 series. Can't stand the Mondaguar, before you even consider mechanicals. I find it a bit like the Rover 75. Modern car with a sprinkling of "Hycinth Bucket" to make it look "posh" when it's actually extremely ordinary.

X5... No. Surely not?

Aye same here, The E60 5 series is growing on me ..

E61 estate version looks better,can't abide the rear of the saloon

Damn damn damn, Mr Wood has said exactly what I was going to. Paper doily anyone? Some flowery wall paper?
Utterly awfull car, its a Mondeo for a poor wannabe posh person. Its clostrafobic, with slab vertical dash way too close to the driver, with very uncomfortable seats. I had one for a week and hated the thing.

x5? No, just no.

Given your options I'm utterly disgusted to say go for a Touring...

...but wheres Andy P and his Merc...? Whatever it is? Estate, 4 wheel drive.

Shame they can't sort their geometry out though.

Max, if you need a hand with anything, just let me know...be good to see you again;

Volvo V70 or the XC70 with the 2.4 D5 engine. 5 cylinders, diesel, 185bhp, or the T5 Version with either 250 or 260bhp. It is FWD, or you can be lucky and find an AWD V70, or go for the XC70.

5 Series, 530d, or a 530i  .

5 Series, 530d, or a 530i  .

Tough choice probably 530i or 535i I'd go for

5 Series, 530d, or a 530i  .

Tough choice probably 530i or 535i I'd go for 

Then again apparently the 530D does 0-62 in 7.3 seconds and very good mpg

Audi V8 TDI's are very impressive too, great performance and great economy!
