Thanks Sandy, been towing Saturday, Sunday and today, had the TD6 for 12 years and amazed at the difference, I had a soft spot for the old one but this is on a different level and its 14 years old and cost nothing (relatively), happy days !!

You'll love it! Towing with the 4.4 V8 is fantastic

You are not wrong Nick. its a dream

Mines 14 years old too and I cannot believe how well it drives. It feels tight as a drum.
No rattles / noises and everything works perfectly. Paint is perfect and no rust anywhere. Interior is excellent and the parchment leather looks new. Don’t think anyone has sat in the back!
Mine is also 2 owner, the last one owning it for 13 years. He looked after it meticulously. Stack of bills to prove too. 72,000 miles.
He changed for an L405.......
I bought this as a fill in before ordering a new car but as yet can’t bring myself to look particularly hard......!
I paid relatively nothing for a car that cost in excess of £55,000 new.
I bought a TD6 back in 2005, 18 months old, for £35,000. I don’t want to do the maths on that!
Although like yours it petrol, I don’t find the fuel consumption too bad TBH.
Unfortunately I will be moving it on soon as my wife wants something that’s new.........

Early days but all good so far, where have I been for 12 years with a diesel. its the devils work
