freelance 448 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Had two astra,s second one being a 05 cdti diesel one cracking engine that was good on fuel and cheap tax, also had an old peugeot 405 diesel estate that wernt bad on juice and not in bad nick for a P reg, thinking of looking at the peugeot 406 diesel now. They seem cheap money for a dogging bus and are supposed to be reliable Cheers Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
