State of the old banger I got given this week by the garage. Mint green and a 54 reg, smoke billowing behind me.

Well good on them for honesty! Some garages would just try to bluff or not give a reason. Monty Oh You

Are they giving you a like for like replacement, or are you getting stung with a Nissan Micra. Eek

16k which is more than a 12 year old motor should be worth but for whatever reason they hold their value and it’s in the best nick I’ve seen of the TD5 before they started putting transit engines in them. I’ll run it for a couple of years then hopefully get my money back May Bee

Congratulations! MyMan

There’s still hope for Partridge. Titter

Your best bet is going for something with a small engine that is cheap to run and insure for your first year, and then change up accordingly, otherwise the insurance will cripple you as a new driver.

Something like a Corsa, Clio or Polo would be my suggestion. Jezza
