But the single life is appealing at the moment so !
I may slap some more extras on now as i will have loads more money left.... Silver lining and all that

Get yourself the RNS510 DVD satnav, it's expensive but imho the best option by far!
You make it sound like she was a real financial drain!

That sounds a drain!
Oh, and now with only one house, maybe you can also afford the extra cost of running a petrol?

Oh, and whilst you're at it, if you drive in traffic a lot, get the DSG too. It also sounds a lot nicer when it changes gear

I have decided to stick with current config and just add Dynaudio !!
I did toy with the idea of going for the petrol 2.0......... but I know i'll be more than happy with the Tdi so........... That's that !
I now await all your comments regarding engine choice lol

I'll take the bait
I used to have a 143bhp BMW 118d, and that engine is very similar to the 140tdi. I must say, although nice around town, it really doesn't feel or sound like a sporty car and lacks a bit in the high end
Personally, I'd say at least take a test drive in a 200bhp petrol if you haven't already, and then make up your mind
if you have already, then I rest my case and fair play to you!

Well usually i'd say yes i've test drove it to get people off my back, but truth is I haven't !!
I did have the Mk5 Gti Golf with that same engine, I think its slightly different in torque delivery (think I read it somewhere).
I'd like to go for the petrol but im going to stick with this for a bit..... Maybe I'll get the 'R' after !
