Sorry folks, it was the tdi I owned.

This is going to be a difficult car to replace. We have yet to move to an insurance valuation but I paid £4500 for it 2 years ago and am struggling to see anything like for like (age, mileage, condition) under 5k. And i am trawling every typical avenue.

Mine was / is LWB and in a gorgeous grey / bronze in sunlight.

Most available seem to be black, few LWB and few 09 plate cars.

So, to help broaden the search - I am going to look at a local 08 in black (not LWB) and just get an eyes on feel of it. BUT -

What are the other diesel engines like? Will the 4.2 be considerably better than a mapped 3.0 or do they just risk higher running costs / reliability issues?

Which are the more desirable / harder to find options? eg sunroof, B&O

What should be standard spec eg rear camera etc?

Thanks for any pointers here folks
