Thumbs Down 
So here's my 2000(X) hdi 5 door which has only just stopped costing me over the odds in repairs from the atrocious Herefordshire roads I drive daily. Had an obsession of eating through outer tread on tyres, warping the sidewall from potholes.

Constantly having new wishbones and balljoints, shredding wheel bolts. Finally before the mot expiry it had most of the front suspension replaced. Wishbones with balljoints, track rods and ends, coilovers with new top mounts etc, second hand good hubs with new bearings, new drop links. So god forbid any of that goes wrong... For a while anyway.

Stage 1 on a whiny assed turbo, cat back straight stainless exhaust, 283mm gti brakes, coilovers, anthracite vortexes (not on at the moment), rear dewiper. Not much else to say about iir. This car has been a tank done 60k in 10 months in it and not missed a beat.

Will soon be on windscreen number 3 in my ownership, new moonstone front bumper is needed as well as side side skirts, new turbo, fmic, stage 2 clutch and stage 2 map upload.

Let's see how this turns out.

Ahh Robert :-)

this car is an absolute trooper, used all the suspension parts and tyres in the world but engine wise it hasn't missed a beat.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong for a while now, I'm fed up of seeing it outside my unit with yet another knackered wishbone or something ;-) haha

60k in 10 months? how the hell did you manage to do that?

I did a 140 mile a day round trip commute and only managed 40K a year in my peak.

Sounds like you've got a good plan there, look foward to seeing it develop. Don't bother with a k03s hybrid though, all the disadvantages of a small turbo with very few of the benefits of a larger one. Confused
