my 2cv van will be departing my company shortly i need a cheap old diesel to run around in, I'm thinking along the lines of xantia or disco1, something i can run on chipfat diesel.

What about my W123 diesel estate? Auto, 3 litre, 5 cylinder, non turbo - very tidy interior, good runner, very solid shell, but a bit shabby. Oh, and brand new Yokohama's. I can't be doing with cheap tyres.

eternaloptimist, thanks but checked for insurance and its way too high for me, sorry! thanks again

Hows about an Isuzu Bighorn? 3.1td happily run on chip fat although i havent actually done with this one. Its a 94 on an L plate, totally standard apart from chunky M+S tyres

No probs. I'm paying £95 but that's what happens when you put it on a limited mileage policy, tell them it's one of four cars and you get to 50. One of the few advantages of being nearer to death than most.
