Dissapointing to say the least, Diesel particulate filter packed in at 23,000, swiftly followed by the fuel sensor, then at 26,000 the duel mass flywheel failed resulting in a new clutch also having to be fitted, at 28,000 the o/s/r suspension spring was found to be snapped and now and again the roof seems to stick halfway, i think this was monday morning car made by someone who'd been out all night, shame im the one left with the Hangover !!

Not bad mpg to be fair.

The roof when it works.
