perfect car for that!
Im after a cheap small estate to use as a van, Fabia/fusion/206sw/ibiza etc. Any tips on whats decent?
Buy a MPV instead - Xsara Picasso is my favourite for that kind of use. It’s actually properly like a van when you lift the rear seats out!Im after a cheap small estate to use as a van, Fabia/fusion/206sw/ibiza etc. Any tips on whats decent?

oh ok, diesel ok that age or petrol better?
Petrol. 1.6 8v - as slow as a week in the jail but utterly dependable. The 2.0 HDi is a good unit if you need to do diesel but they’ll either be more expensive or dogged.

Still a few decent 1.8 petrols about for peanuts.
Bulletproof as long as the oils been changed regularly otherwise the timing chain stretches.

Almera Tino is good for that, the 3 rear seats come out individually.

Ooo yeah that’s not a bad shout. They’re less plentiful than the Picasso but a decent contender. Still a few decent 1.8 petrols about for peanuts.

That's an agree from me!Absolutely f
king detest working on VWs. Horrible value engineered st. My first car was a VW Lupo and I can't remember why because I've deleted it from my memory, but I had to drop the steering column and they only way to do this was the drill out two shear bolts. Cue hours of laying on my back with metal shavings all over my face.
Still the most annoying car I've ever worked on. Everything is difficult.

Toaster is the fox performing?
And have you received any parts for the others yet?
Fox is in bits again to try and sort an oil leak and I’m also sorting those bloody brakes at the same time. And have you received any parts for the others yet?
No huge progress with anything really, been busy starting a temporary job that’ll hopefully help keep everything together whilst the job market is utterly desecrated
I’ll get some proper updates towards the end of this week!

king idiot, so you know it’s the right thing to do!Just watched today’s video toastie. And to prove I watched it all, here’s a sentence you used near the very end:-
I’m just running out of motivation more than anything else.
Now now mr toaster. You can pack that talk in right now. Get yourself some stiff upper lip, have an iron bru and get yasel diving back into it lad. We will hear no more of this demotivated nonsense.
Chin up buddy, there’s a challenge to complete and only the small matter of a global pandemic to deal with
If it helps, I for one am enjoying all the content. I keep hitting the like button and sharing. Hope you can get a few more content views to help get you motivated.

You'll always get knobhead keyboard warriors on the internet, who can absolutely be ignored unless they put forward a well-structured argument (which of course they won't, because they are knobhead keyboard warriors).

- tbh they’re the least of my worries at the moment. This bd virus decimating the job market is the biggest pain in my arse right now! The latest binky project has 127 dislikes, so no matter how good, there will always be someone hitting the dislike button. Chin up, nearly half way through the challenge, and so far only one fail to proceed-but proceeded after a cool down breakdown (not watched most recent one yet, a teething child has put all YouTube on pause)
Regarding your comments on the fox being slightly crusty coming from N E Scotland, I live in N E Scotland, and was able to remove bits of body panels from my previous cars with my fingers. Long wet winters with tons of salt do make a fair bit damage.
