The Subaru just had to go.................so here is yet another car!!.

[Swanny]

The Subaru and I were never going to get on for, many reasons, least of all, the fact that I could barely fit into !! :
Anyway, I'm going to try and sell it this week, but I've bought another little/medium sized runaround in the meantime, and I really rather like it...............






It's in lovely condition both mechanically and cosmetically. It's the non-turbo 1900 Diesel lump, so don't expect any land speed records anytime soon!!!

[Kernowman]

Hmm  it's a fenchy... a citreon at that...  is it petrol or diesel..

I just hope it's the XUD Pug engined diesel...  the froggy petrol citreons can be gits ...   

[Swanny]

It's the diesel lump, same as I've had in my 405's, and renaults...............just without a turbo!!

[Kernowman]

That's the XUD lump...brilliant diesel lumps...real workhorse engines..
I had 2 405s.. a 1.9 GR estate and a 1.9 TD GTX estate.

They where great motors and really reliable.
You can also...if they have the BOSCH pump..run them on veg.. 

As it goes...I have a set of injectors in my bits...removed them from my 1.9 GR ..in good condition... I'll send them up to you when I finally manage to sort new garage out.
But need my bond make from old place so I can get a shed first..

Was just thinking the same

French cars might be euro rot-boxes* but they can sure make an engine

*this opinion could be biased after my pug's monumental MOT failure

[Chris Howarth]

have looked at them before and the Impreza SW.our lads are 14 and 10 now so the need for pushchairs is long gone.nut would like an estate again for there practicality.do need something powerfull enough to pull our old caravan with its steel chassis though

[Swanny]

The Forester is tight for room in the back seats mate, and from memory, your about the same height as me, you'd struggle driving it. The steering whell is too far forward, so you have your seat reclined so far that it takes up all the room for the rear passengers. leg room leaves a little to be desired too.

Ok thanks mate,looks like being summat a bit bigger than first thought to replace the bus when the time comes.

[Swanny]

I reckon a Legacy would be a better bet.

[snakeyes]

I like the legacy, real big cars by the look of them. Hope you enjoy your citreon Swanny, Personally i hate citreons.
Did not realise the forester was that small though.
