Yes Welcome.

There is a good buyers guide on here somewhere that I'm sure somebody will find the link to.

Edit:
Found it myself - here you go : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21281&hilit=Buyers+guide

Thanks all for the welcome. I was pointed in the direction of this forum from PH. I did have a pig of a commute and had a commuter shed for that but now that I've got a short commute, I've justified getting rid of it and am currently hunting for a decent zed as my second car. The wife will even let me put a child seat in it :rofl:

My main one is an F11. In kitchen appliance white. And diesel.

Pricewise, I am willing to go up to about £4500 but am happy to wait out for the right one - I've got my heart set on a 3.0 but being realistic, is there much of a difference between the differing engines for day to day driving (I won't be tracking it)?.

I've lurked on here for a long time and when I find the 'one', I will post pics on here.
