Stu's chips put them on a par with a standard cosworth for performance.

And yes, for a big heavy diesel car, the way they drive is quite surprising, technology on suspension etc has clearly moved on a LONG way since the ford sierra!

Trouble is Pete trying to find a nice one with few extras. They are sooooo hard to find.

Great looking car mate. Good choice as well for uni fuel bills and reliability. No shonky sierras like I had! Mind you, it only let me down once so shouldnt complain too much.

Enjoy it mate

Lovely mate, if I had the money I'd have exactly the same for a daily driver, wanted one for a while now, looks like the 106 will have to do a few more years yet though

Thats looks lovely Rhys,
always liked the silver they seem to age so much better


Not being saucy but being a 3.0 would it be a juicy fucker as far as diesels go? (only saying as i do 100+ miles every day to and from work
and my 306 don't use hardly any but the comfort level/drive isn't quite the same )
