Won't be any cheaper in the short term compared to what I've been fekin around with, but the instant 'release' is priceless.
For example, I've just diagnosed that the rear diff in the allroad is minced, last night, after another long drive, £100 for an unknown entity off of ebay and a day off work to fit it, just not worth it.
They've given me £1500 trade in for the allroad, and I can take the A5 wheels off and sell them for about £400 with the new tyres, so essentially getting £1900 for an allroad with many, many future problems is as good a deal as I'll ever get.
The best thing for me is being able to
choose to work on the old 100s, when I have the time and inclination. And the 100 turbo avant is far, far, far, far, more deserving of my time than the biturnip allroad.
Anyway, I'll still be here unfortunately, but talking about type 44s, not whether to buy a new car or not!!!!!!
The new tin can kid bus (with timing chain, more torque than the allroad, and 60mpg) will look like this.
Thank ****, its over.
