Bought a Cherry HDi Dturbo last night. UPDATE! Now a runner :)

If the ESP on the Meg is intrusive it's not set up right...shitty Renault.  I don't find it intrusive at all on the Focus tbh.  You can turn it off in snow anyway.

I know the tyres would be expensive, but surely cheaper to buy smaller wheels with winter tyres, unless the brakes are too big for that.

ANY and EVERY ESP is intrusive on my driving style. you can turn it off completely in the meg but it comes back on after 30mph. It's a ballache and i would rather drive something that owes me far less money when chances of crashing etc are significantly higher.

Cheers for the kind comments lads but anyone with XUD previous will NOT be purchasing this car from me especially bacon boy.

I consider diesel a necessary evil due to covering 50 miles a day, so sell it to me when you're done.

I do 100 mile a day so completely agree! Arent you the guy that didnt want a 306 hdi daily as it would be too much like your '6?
