My first car was an Avenger 1.5GL K reg in 1979.

Depends what you get if you trade something in.

New Clio 1.6 dCi 106HP Initiale Tom Tom is over £18k. I know which one I prefer, and it's cheaper.

Haven't got any interior pics but this link shows some, got the cloth seats not leather. Quality isn't bad, doesn't have any annoying squeeks which was more than could be said for my Clio. http://www.seat.co.uk/generator/su/com/IbizaFR09/site/gallery/main.html

List price I'm afraid, £17k, but I got a decent deal on the trade-in.

Paid cash, sorry. There are some advantages to being a bit old (not too many though).

I'll get it done but it will be when the warranty has expired.

Not pushed it yet but picks up well, floored the one I had the test drive in and it was pretty rapid. Firm ride but not as hard as the clio, very comfortable for us old folk (50ish). Steering is a bit light but we'll get used to it. Only had it a couple of days but overall very pleased.

Thinking of getting black wheels later as I think it would look better but I'd best let the wife get used to it before I broach this subject with her. I've got through my mid-life crisis which is why I've gone for this over a faster petrol car, could save well over a grand a year on running...

Seat Ibiza FR 2.0 TDI

Blue with white wheels outside Colwyn Bay Leisure Centre earlier today.

Parked outside Leisure Centre at lunchtime today.

Fitted front one but the post cat one has a different plug so can't connect it. I'll get in touch with the suppliers tomorrow and see what they say.

My emissions light has been on now for quite some time and someone suggested that it could be one of the lambda sensors (has been on two occassions in the past so took their advice). Couldn't be bothered with the hassle of going to my local Renault dealer so ordered two new sensors from cats2go...
