It's trying to kill me, it's got an over enthusiastic turbo that kicks in at 1500rpm in 1st gear, and from the feel of it, it's a LARGE turbo. (Bear in mind I've driven 316 Sprinters, and C320 komressors for work before)

It's a fiat something on a 51 plate, all I care about though is it's got climate contol and a decent stereo.

Clutch is on it's way out (can't get it over 50 on the motorway) gearbox will need changing within 2000 miles, and it's a bit rusty. It's had a few knocks that the previous owner painted over in white (didn't notice as I picked it up at night) apart from that, it seems alright. it's a '93 Astra estate 1.7 Tdi, no tax, MOT'd till october. V5 present, think it might have service history in the glove, not sure.

If you can do the work yourself, it'd be worth buying, but because of the engine mounts on it, I was told it's a hell of a long, tedious job to change the clutch so it'd cost a days work.
