Cheers lads, have seen a few on gumtree/ebay that are worth a look.

As for how much i'm spending, literally as cheap as possible. Only need it to get around for 3/4 months before i go back to work at sea. Seen a Citreon Xantia, old shape Primera and a couple of diesel fiestas that i will try get a quick look at this week, all sub £450!
