 Sick of not having it around. It only went in on Friday, and had to go to the golf club in the Punto this morning. Just didn't quite cut it in the car park. I had to park in the corner in between two vans.
Roll on Tomorrow, it should come back a different car. New front wishbones, new steering arms, new rear upper wishbones, new oils and seals in the front diff, 4 wheel alignment 
All on the last day of warranty 
Now, I might just be ready to sell it.

The Punto is certainly wearing, not sure about with pride though.
Having said that, I have put 40k on it at 50mpg over the past 2 years, and all its had is a steering column, a wiper mechanism, an exhaust and set of tyres and brake pads. Very cheap motoring indeed.

Same here - mine is in for a body off/glow plug change and while they have given me possibly the strangest courtesy car ever ( Audi A6 Allroad, 2.7 Twin Turbo quattro automatic ) I want my D3 back! I can't cope with 16MPG for much longer, although the effortless race to three figures is rather nice  2014 D4 XS
2005 D3 SE - Gone

DG, make sure you tell them its knocking front and rear, steers like a barge, and whines like a dog. Then they will have to check everything and bobs your uncle
