Hi,

the no problem with it is the owner says that over 2k revs it runs fine but below 2k it "struggles"??????

I hope it's cheap. 150bhp 320d's can be a money pit. Turbo, pump, swirl flaps, injectors etc etc etc.

For £1250 it's worth a gamble - if it 's an ES it'll be a 2003? Manual aircon, spott suspension, 16" 'loyz and sport s/wheel.

Plus black head lining, wind up rear windows and no front fogs or multi function steering wheel.

Climate panel and multi function steering wheel are easy retro fits though.
