Stay with a fronty mate. LWB will cover anything its needed for. Mines is a 2.5 lwb and its used evey day and has never let me down.

The later 04 2.2dti is a very well sorted car, all the fuel pump problems are sorted, in fact every niggle they sorted on the later model.. then stopped making them :roll:
Powerful too :wink:

Oh and dirt cheap.
One thing I saw was a year 2000 V6 Fronty 46k full leather £1700 :shock:
