8 months of D3 ownership

Cracking car

But as reliable as a chocolate fireguard

Its sad but if I had not had a good warranty it would have cost me 7k in less than 6 months.

The best motor ive owned in 25 years but high running cost

Good luck lads and lasses

What year is it & what mileage have you covered? After spending 7g you should now have years of trouble free motoring Thumbs Up

Your in the trade so I am not sure running costs and cost of items give you a real world ownership for average man in the street Thumbs Up
