Hi Tom. Welcome to the forum. My name is Sam and I live in Woodbridge. Check out my project thread for my 1.8 and maybe youll spot me at some point! I work in London so im normally cruising down the A12/14 at weekends.
I would advise you to look at a hdi 5 door.

I used to work for peugeot and the amount of electrical faults on his put me off. I have to deal with electrics all day don't want to do it at home as well. I'm looking for mechanical because its more satisfying for me to play with and can run veg oil as well. Although I have drove several and they do drive well just not for me. I'll take a look at the project thread
PS nice thread
