I'm on the D2BC forum so advertised my TD5 there got a member from Aberdeen coming down tomorrow to look it over, must bee keen traveling all that way. So if he buys it I'll be going for this one https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ad...romSA=true it's older than I intended but of the dozen or so cars I've see it's actually one of the best mileage and condition wise, and the dealer is doing quite a few jobs as part of the deal belt's water and oil pump mot and full engine service 3 months warranty plus try for a longer warranty so fingers crossed.

Looks good; unusual colour too.
If possible make sure the dealer uses genuine oil filter and the correct grade and specification of a top branded oil.
Hope it all goes well. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Is that the one you linked to previously? I recognise the steering wheel  Steve.

Yep well spotted as said it's the best one I've seen there are some real dogs out there If it ain't broken down it soon will

Someone spent money on lots of blingy bits and big wheels but didn't bother sorting out the wheel nuts...several have blown and had the covers cut off. I'd ask them to chuck on a full set of new nuts too or preferably a set of solid nuts. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Already in hand dealer is being really good. If it ain't broken down it soon will
