yes mate budget was 8k ...... I went out to get the touran on monday, I spoke to the the sales guy on monday morning and he was going to keep it over until 2pm for me, I was running late and the time I got there it was after 3 and guess what?.... yes it was SOLD... gutted to say the least.... so today I went for the plan B and went for the Zafira, from local main dealer an 06 zafira Design 51k 120bhp for 7499£ over five years £187 per month and only 3 month warranty... £400 to upgrade to a year... I had a few more to see so off i went to another dealer... 06 zafira club 34k on clock 1.9cdti 120 bhp, black, £7400, was all set to buy this one, the sale guy went to get it from the compound and guess what.... it had been stolen..... gutted again... so told the dealer I was going to go back to the dealer that was selling the zafira design, and he told me he could do me a good deal, as he didnt want me going back to the other guy... so, I got a 07 Sri 19.cdti 150 bhp, in black with privacy glass, ok it was £8300 but he gave a good APR, got the car with full mot, tank of diesel, mats n flaps, years warranty and the repayments only £194 per month £7 more than the first car.... was well pleased

lol now your all making things hard for me.... to many options.. I have looked at Galaxys , Sharans, Alphambras etc but they all seem to be very high mileage at the price im looking.... have just been on a few touran forums and they seem to be a dog of a car with numerous faults , like pas pumps going all the time, steering racks, abs modules etc... but im sure that if I looked into forums for all cars id find the same? right? Im just looking a good reliable people carrier, just wish skoda did one :( any more suggestions?

the time has come when I have out grown my little fabia..... time for a family car me thinks... I have been looking around at various makes and models and have a few shortlisted: Vauxhall zafira design : think this is top of the range (don't really know) possible a 1.9 or 1.7 tdi on an 08 plate £7400 50k on clock or Vw Touran 1.9TDi S 90pd , on an 06 plate , black with alloys , air con , 6 speed etc all usual stuff, 24k on clock .... £7995 full service history am needing a 7 seater cos have 2 kids with previous relationship and 2 in current and 1 on way, so Fabia is out the door , any ideas or prefs?? Im really thinking the vw but the zafira is 2 years younger for less money but has more miles....

didnt break any ....just stuck a long screwdriver under the panel and gave a hard yank and popped the first clip then moved around until all popped, some of the clips did remain in the door thou, removed them by grabbing them with a pair of snips -

it might work, ...... wont know until you try lol i did mine today when I was at work took me half an hour.... was unplanned and spare of the moment thing... I was in our stores and found a silicone gun with something init called tec7... Had a read of the tube and it said it was for wet application and didnt dry hard and stayed flexible... so i took it and did it in the work car park... just looked it up on the net " * For all applications, as well in building, bathroom as in general maintenance TEC7 replaces: mounting, wood and P.U. adhesive, silicone sealants, sanitary silicone sealants, acrylic sealants, butyl rubber sealants. * As universal adhesive TEC7 bonds to most surfaces and does not attack synthetic material. * On mirrors (vertical strips), on natural stone (does not bleed through), polyester, polystyrene foam, wet surfaces, even under water. * Repaintable with all common paints." its made by NOVATECH and is about £8 a tube website you can get this from builders merchants etc -

allow around £40 -50 for a good half decent tyre..... I have kumho ecsta`s on mine and the seem to be pretty good... your choice of tyre size does not seem correct, for a 15 inch wheel , ( well mine anyway) I think you need a 195/50/r15 hope this helps [edit] doh... you beat me too it Jim lol
