• £3K to £4K to spend 25 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  the upcoming MOT without too many problems. I have been considering a 1.8/2.0 P11-144 Primera or Honda Accord.

  regarding fuel type, but shy away from LPG due to its scarcity in this part of Kent. A 'car' would be preferred as opposed to a 'van' or 'minibus' style vehicle. Before somebody recommends a Discovery or Shogun, Range Rover, Land Cruiser, etc...they all fail on headroom. Bizarrely, a friend of ours has
