OK, so maybe it's time to trade in the old A4. It's been OK, but the engine is starting to rattle, and the suspension is noisy.
Been looking at the Xsara Mk1 2.0 hdi. Very familiar with the excellent engine, but what about the rest of the car?

Anything to particularly look out for?

^^That's about it. That and the heater blower control failing because of the ignition switch burning out.

Get the model with the Bosch fuel system though. Got one in my Picasso family bus. Think there are a few around with the Siemens and the Bosch is far superior. Plus it can be remapped for a lot more grunt, a bit more economy at not a lot of money smile
