It sounds very much like mine - I bet it's black?

Mine goes through wiper blades like no other car I've ever had rolleyes

Mine has a whining clutch bearing which I think is not uncommon but other than that I've had little problem with it (famous last words - mines' due an MOT in a month rolleyes, I've had some problems with hoses failing so it might be worth checking some of those over.

What mileage is on it? Make me really depressed, tell me how little mine is worth if you don't mind?

mileage is 90k, with 2 owners,
full leather, carbon dash.
mileage i think is a little high, but not too bad for a diesel,it has a radio cassette ,but autochanger in boot.
ihad a look on autotrader for prices before i purchased it, and prices range from 2600 to 3995 ?
i paid the lower end of that !

It sounds like mine, presumably the SE if it's got leather? It's usually half leather though rather than full, the upgrade to full was horrendously expensive IIRC.

Mine has just about 110k miles on it and (touch wood!) is still going strong.
