Dilemma

I don't know yet but I might just cut my losses and replace the cruiser.
If anyone knows of or comes across a good diesel VX going somewhere in
England (preferably midlands'ish as I have very little spare time to go
travelling) could you let me know please. I want auto definitely so I guess
that means either a 12 valve or an import.
I might consider a VERY good petrol, preferably LPG converted.
If I do go down this route I'll chop the current one up for spares. Or maybe
get in touch with Pimp my Ride..... :)
Let me know would you.

Pete
I paid just over 3.5k for it and had the engine mains re-shelled (just
to be on the safe side but shells were ok anyway) new cam belt full
service and a brand new start motor.
So a reason able offer please and note it is a UK car not a import I
have double checked that with the dealership as the interior is not
leather plus it is a manual . from the dates it looks as if it was one
of the very last 12v motors made for the UK

Hi Peter,
Sorry to say, but I have just been looking on Autotrader and there
don't seem to be that many 80s out there at the moment.
Losts of 90s and 100s, but only a handful of 80s - not sure why that
is.
