Thank you very much.

More of a returner actually.

After giving up my former manual diesel 75 3 years ago because of old sporting knee problems requiring an automatic ( and to be honest also fed up of changing gear after almost 40 years of driving, especially with the clogged up roads as they are now) and also wasn't prepared to fork out £1,000 for a new clutch after watching my friend having to change two in two years on his 75 the first the same time as I had mine changed.

I anticipated a real fall in my mpg with an automatic diesel as opposed to my previous manual so decided to go down the petrol / lpg route and I'm afraid succumbed to the scare stories about the K series engine on the Rovers and changed marques.

I must confess 3 years of driving a Y reg Mercedes 2001 E240 converted to LPG has been really great, what a wonderfully smooth and luxurious car to drive.

However some clown of a neighbour left his handbrake off last week allowing his car to roll into the side of mine and with body estimates of £1600 to £1800 to repair the buckled doors and creased central door column.

Leaving me with a familiar problem highlighted on here regularly of an old luxury
car with a superb engine purring away like a baby and with absolutely nothing wrong with it apart from the dents just caused, about to be written off because of it's age for peanuts ( it's just not fair is it?).


So I'm hopefully just about to rejoin the ranks of 75 owners and looking for a tidy diesel Auto with leather seats toppish spec and cruise control. I'm hoping that Jules might be able to sort me out.

It's probably my last chance to rejoin the 75 owner ranks for a couple of years before the 75 car pool dwindles even lower with age.
