Here I am two months later, I've still got the D3 but she has only travelled 600 miles in the last two months and most of those were in one weekend.
I needed to take her out, so I drove from Dorset to Norwich and back 3 weeks ago to pickup a collection only ebay purchase. During that weekend I used a whole tank of fuel and more, whereas the Volvo would have loads in reserve on it's first tank. Saying that she drives way better than the Volvo, but the Volvo does have 20K more miles on it.
She is now sitting outside where its been for two weeks, I am taking it to work today just to keep her running assuming the battery is not flat.
This weekend I'll get her all cleaned up inside and out, whilst the work changes continue to wreak havoc and my D3 sits there depreciating in value and costing me tax and insurance.
