    Just found out the this is number 167 - ANywone have any info on this one. The car seems in very good condition and as someone who has looked after his CDTi with passion. I am happy with the 260.

    I asked the garage this morning about the CD for the SATNAV. He doesnt seem confident that they have that. How bad is that, can I get one from anywhere?

    Thanks,

    Hi max and welcome.
    The dealership is only a couple of miles up the road from me- I had seen the car in, and am glad it is going to a good home

    Welcome Max

    I called Dreadnought for some advice on a few things and they were very clear that changing plugs shouldn't be necessary until about 90K, -and they're expensive. I'd give it a little while and if it's still slow to start look for something else!
    Diff oil is a good idea though, everyone says that the original stuff is "cheap treacle" or something similar. After that forget for at least 90k
    I'd advise getting a quote for the diff oil and heater pipe change if you're not going to do it yourself
    My garage charged me £130 labour for doing the diff oil, fuel clip and the heater hose, which I thought was OK. I bought some stuff from one guy who'd paid £170 just for the heater hose change!
