Default My new 75 - 2 litre V6 Connoisseur SE Auto

Picked it up on Good Friday from a dealer in Havant as the CDTi I went to look at was sold while I was driving down to see it because I didn't put a deposit down!

Although 2nd choice, this car has some good karma about it. It's the same colour as my SD1, it's got the same registration code (YE) as my SD1 and it was 1st registered on my birthday!

One owner from new, FSH, 37k on the clock and the cambelt was done last year (phew!). Paint not brilliant as someone has touched in stonechips and the odd shopping trolley prang with the wrong shade of paint. You don't really notice unless you're looking for it though.

Two days in and so far, I'm really pleased with it! Whisper quiet at 70mph, not too bad fuel economy (I was expecting worse!) and all the toys work.

Only niggle is there's water getting into the boot from somewhere. Assumed from the lamp cluster but after pouring water around the tail lights, the boot remained dry. Hmmm...
