Anybody got any experience of one of these?

115 bhp turd, might do 30 mpg average and wouldn't pull your foreskin back. They use a four speed auto (basically a 318i GM box) and are a very big bill waiting to happen. Okay for £300 with a long MOT but not a bean more. Only makes sense if you run it on a 50/50 mix of veg oil and red.

Yes go for the 525TDS (turbo intercooled jobby)
Great fun in the wet when the Turbo kicked in
Plus it got 45 to the gallon on the motorway

Yep, they do exist but you'll be hard pushed to find a decent one, and most sound like tractors
If you can find a decent tds then great, if not then the M50 192bhp 525 is the way to go
(wouldn't mind another one myself)
