List of issues seem to be endless.... The ones you're looking at also seem to be at the rougher end of the scale. I think the newer ones were much improved. I haven't suggested any cars to buy because it seems your heart is set on an Insignia! Why would I waste my time elaborating when it doesn't seem to be taken any notice of? The 407 was classic, I remember at the time, all your posts asking about it, and people all suggesting you avoid. You did the opposite and bought a complete lemon.. Remind me again why I would be recommending cars for you to buy...? Seeing as you asked though, I'll give it one last shot.... A well specced Golf estate could do the trick. Newer CR Diesel engines are much improved on the older units. An Octavia estate could also be a runner? Ford Focus estate of that era with the 1.8/2.0 diesels engine? Volvo make decent cars too, this is what I'd have personally.http://cars.donedeal.ie/view/9922198 Volvo V70 D5 AWD SE Geartronic//mint Co Yes the tax is higher, but it has everything else going for it. Loads of toys, superb diesel engine, loads of space, peace of mind from a dealer. Screw the tax and buy something like that would be what I'd do.

Edit: Hey DZ, how are things. These have the standard suspension, only the highest (exclusive?) spec has the Hydractive suspension. Think it's standard on the 2.7's.

The car was loaded to the balls, 2 adults and a lot of traffic, mountain climbing and frequent bursts of acceleration. Curious now what it would do with one adult and shag all luggage considering these engines are renowned for not being as economical as they would like you to think. In other news... the EML is on so I'm heading back to reality.

A young pensioner in a suitably snazzy silver 407, finished in factory scrapes and dents, needed to leave this safe heaven for consumers. What better way to exit this reclusive park than attempt to hack and bludgeon his wheels off the kerb. Backward, foreward BUMP. Backward, foreward BUMP. Rinse and repeat for a desired amount of times until the car is shaking like that piebald horse on the M1 during a sulky race. And probably about to schutter a bag of bolts too, just like that horse. This challenging weather is bringing out new challenges for our human race

You may not be able to class your raffle under the heading ‘Private Lotteries’ for example, if you are mailing out tickets to individuals in the post, if you are advertising the raffle to customers, or if the value of the prizes will be more than €4,000. In this case, you will need to apply for a licence to the District Court for the area in which the lottery will be held. This can be done on any given Wednesday. An individual from the organisation would need to act as the license holder on the license application, and comply with the regulations of the Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1956. The total value of the prizes must not exceed €20,000 to be awarded in any one week but an amount greater than this could be awarded at intervals. Prior to filing with the District Court, you must notify the Gardai 28 days in advance of the license application. This notice period is absolutely necessary. The Association of Charity Lotteries in Ireland (ACLI), a forum for Irish charitable organisations who depend on the running of lotteries as a means of fundraising, have developed a Code of Practice to promote standards of good practice for the operation of charity lotteries in Ireland. All members of ACLI have signed up to this Code of Practice and promote their lotteries in accordance with the Code.

But yeah, it was like horn testing facility.
