Evening all,
Looking at buying an A2, primarily as I will be doing 400 miles a week next year and dont want to either destroy my BMW or (its a 2.5i) my bank balance...
Looking at a tdi as its a bit quirky, sounds like it is reasonably comfy on a motorway and the most important bit its the only small car my wife likes (She has a 07 mk2 TT)
Having read the forums for a few weeks it looks like a 1.4tdi 75 is the way to go.
You can probably guess from my forum name I am a mechanic (though mainly race cars) so working on them isnt really an issue
Ive looked in all the usual places, AT/ eBay .FB Marketplace but all the cars are "oop nurth" or 1.6fsi's
Are there any hidden gems down south (Im in the Hastings / Rye area) as I really dont want to travel a 400 mile round trip for nothing!!
Thanks
Steve
