I bought a bangernomic classic a few months ago, 2006 C5 Citroen for €1,000. Had it now about 5 months and all I've had to do is change the oil and put on four new tyres. Touch wood she's running lovely. The question I have is, the NCT is up in May next year and I believe there's some way of me testing her early and getting 2 years test on it rather than waiting till the test is due and it then being 10 years old so only getting 1. What's the dealio please??

Touch wood, we had no trouble or breakdowns in 10 years other than normal wear and tear items items and general servicing. They are a comfortable drive and return around 34mpg. They're not the quickest off the line but as a family car, who cares. I can't really fault it.

They kept saying the word "Japanese" to me and giving me even more extortionate quotes than usual. I can only imagine similar with that pulsar...rendering it effectively a write off. Oh I was interested in the Impreza because I have a bad leg and needed a runabout for a few weeks. I know the engine and box are god awful :P
