    Honey, I shrunk the Nissan :D
    I've had a mad horn for a big dirty YD Pathfinder since I've started working for Nissan, those later X-Trails are always surprisingly nice too though, that's the moddle with the Bose sound system and the lot, big dirty sub in the boot?

    They're a very decent motor, well wear!

    Can't complain all things (mileage, condition, auto etc) considered.
    With the miles you intend putting up on it you'll get great value from it. Happy motoring.

    I was admiring your new car so much that I went to carzone to see what was available.
    It looks like a nice one, best of luck with it

    So the wee Puglet has been in flying form of late. Since her lick of paint last month, it's gone a full month without a single thing breaking. Thats fair bloody going hahaha As a reward, I took a mad notion one day last week and deceided to take a dip into motorsport competition and go out Autotesting. Didnt expect to be the only eejit arriving in their own road car ready to compete, but sher we gave it a go. Couple hours later, and very dizzy myself from spinning round cones (King of The Cone has noting on this craic), one very badly broken arch liner was the only casulty. Too much of allowing the car to get it's lean on I suppose. Thought I was all cool billowing tyre smoke, but less so when it was the car burning itself hahaha

    I think the next time you see someone defending putting subtle tints on headlights your best course of action would be to bite your tongue and close the topic people in glass houses and all that , HID in the fogs and headlights? FFS.

    :D:rolleyes:

    Hahaha the sunstrip should have been a give away. Savage vitriol reserved for the 100w hid fogs (deservedly so in fairness) but tinting headlamps and making your rear lights look like a 40year old sacred heart picture bulb is OK apparently lol.

    So my Golf that I bought last week has gone back to previous owner. Absolute disaster. Needed the timing chain replaced, brake disks and pads, bonnet locking and cable, window reg was going and a few other things. Hats off to the seller who was completely apologetic and sincere about it and took it back with no complaints.

    Bought a 06 2L Hyundai Tucson tonight, 85k miles, new brakes and pads on the front, belt done 20k kms ago, fully serviced yesterday. Absolute mint condition not one dent on it. Getting its NCT the weekend and a full valet, plus i've 6 months warranty on it. 2100e, from my own mechanic too which is handy and gives me a complete peace of mind for the time being. Pictures to follow.

    ah that sucks! at least you got it sorted now in the end - quite surprised that the previous owner took it back, he didn't really have to. Seems he should have spent more money on general maintenance rather than side skirts, debadged bumpers, and RS4 stickers.

    Haha that's true. We had a verbal agreement that i would get the car checked over with my mechanic and if anything major was wrong or costly he could pay for repair or I could bring it back and he stuck to his word. Some sound people out there.
