Well thanks for all the help guys.

Many an evening i'd spend looking at AT for a runabout.

I've actually bought a 1.4 2006 Mk6.5 Fiesta Zetec Climate. 74k miles, full service history in good condition for £1150. Bargain I thought. Managed to get 58mpg out of it on a 20 mile drive which was mostly A roads. Well happy at that!

Thanks again everybody, appreciated!

Cheers, it's just a 'normal' bumper, not a nice ST150 one. Somebody's already had away with the towing eye cover, or it's fallen off. BeforeI bought it I must add!

If your thinking of Corsa c make sure the cam chain has been replaced. Plus when your oil isn't on max chain can start to rattle. Spoke to a lad at garage.

Nissan cube is an idea?
