Ooops, sorry, missed that bit!

All the properly decent diesels I can think of start at around £2750 for decent examples.

Anything over a certain age that's a diesel is going to be from the old style of diesels, and not upto the kind of standard of the newer stuff.

Not a bad idea, or a Bora. Same as a Golf, just less fashionable, so probably cheaper than the equivalent.....
