Thanks for the replies, it seems no major problems with this model, good, because I bought it today, looks good, sounds ok, slight layshaft noise when idling, normal I am told, drives good, so will be putting some kilometers on it once the army of paper shufflers here have crossed the t's and dotted the i's and dreamt up any new rules to delay giving me the paperwork to use the car.
As far as the previous 2012 one that was written of, the car was written of with a slightly bent chassis and some body damage, I spent a week in hospital with broken ribs, shoulder blade and some colourful bruises and unfortunately the better half wacked her head on something hard and has spent 2 days short of 6 months in hospital and rehab, now home and making a fair recovery, memory a bit dodgy and walking a bit wobbly but 3 days a week as an outpatient with all sorts of therapies. Hospital treatment here has to be seen to be believed, 5 star plus. yes we pay a fair price, but worth it.
