    Gorgeous car. Love this generation A4 estate. And love the colour of yours. What year is it? Looks in very good nick. When money allows its definately the second from top of my list (after an E28 M5!)

    It's the same front lip as on all the basic Mazda 6 bumpers. I couldn't afford the aero bumper, not that I'm complaining about what I have.

    Yeah, I'm trying to get some info on remapping it. I know another user here got his 3MPS remapped to over 300bhp and it's the same engine so it can be done.

    Oh right, Mazda aero parts are unreal expensive. Even front mudguards for the RX8 were over €200 each from a dealer. I got them on ebay for €150 for a set of 2. You may find something to your liking on there.

    Not that particular one. I had it in bits around the house like I tend to do with most purchases these days. It was filthy beyond belief.

    Agreed - the engine is fantastic in it's own way. Lovely gearbox too and even handles pretty well. They'll be on the roads in this part of the world for many years to come I reckon.

    As in TDI or diesel in general?

    Either way, it was just a case of buying any car ASAP, needed transport from today onwards.

    Kind of a panic buy tbh, but i've always liked the aul golfs, up to the MK IV anyway :D.

    Dropping her in to get the timing belt replaced on wednesday. No verifiable indication that its been done previously.

    I actually prefer it without the centre caps! I have them but think it looks less "usual" this way.

    Shes the 109 bhp. I was considering getting it chipped, but im going to wait till the warranty is up first (3 months).

    I probably wont do the annual mileage for a diesel, but, as its not the "modern" diesels with DPFs (afaik) its shouldnt matter that much.

    Was it somehow cheaper to buy a golf and spend money having its timing belt done etc then to just have the clutch replaced in the fiesta if it was so reliable?

    The timing belt will be done as part of sale, so no cost to me.

    I wanted rid of the fiesta as i was bored of it. It needed a few other minor jobs doing aswell. Plus the cost of the clutch change would be more than the fiesta was worth. NCT/tax up in a couple of months aswell and she wouldnt have passed.

    After 8 hours of detailing you should get a decent camera to show the shine off :p

    Lovely car and great choice (the Mazda that is not the Polo :D)

    I was shaking from the 3 cans of red bull I had so that's why the pics are a bit blurry! Either that or blame Apple!!
