I have recently bought a 2003 2.5 litre with 55k on the clock.
I can't attach a 'photo yet as the car is half covered in snow which has frozen onto it. I don't fancy sliding the car on runflats around the iced-up roads on our estate. The tramlining is bad enough on dry roads.
It is due to thaw in a couple of days. I'll make it look more presentable and photograph it then.
I am hoping to do most repairs and maintenance myself. If I come across any shortcuts or good ideas I will be happy to share them.

Welcome on board. Replacing the run flats with normal tyres and a can of goo should cure the tram-lining, if all else is good.
