Car park dings wouldn't be a problem. 

Whilst it's probably better fuel economy wise than an Omega , I doubt I it could take the country lane corners well at 50 mph ,I'd probably end up ploughing fields    and I'm NOT a farmer , so ......"that's a NO from me and I'm out "

It probably drives like a 1960's tractor. 

Took one of the 3.2's in for a MOT today, and got some advisories. i.e track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated X2,. Also Steering linkage ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated. So took a look on ebay, but came away clue less, as it seems that there appears to be a range of sizes. Any advice as to the correct items would be appreciated. TIA

The Prince engine is a PSA BMW blob.

The earlier petrols had a Tritec engine developed with Chrysler

Cure

Dont know a lot about them but Ive read that one version has a chocolate gearbox and another (prince engine ?) has a chocolate engine.

Sure, but hot day and engine hot when you stop it, oil pressure is zero but coolant not, that was my fear...

Do you get hot days in Finland? 

.....

Phoned Tesco to cancel, didn't even try to ask why, or offer a different price.

presumably loads on a continuous renewal so they don't need to be competitive 

SWMBO has a 60 plate C3 Citroen 1600 petrol that has what I've been led to believe is a Mini engine. If it's the same, the water pump is only part time drive by the 'fan belt'. Never had any over heating issues though Citroen did a mod on the temp sensor because the car THOUGHT they were overheating & lit the dash up like a Christmas tree when it did. (doesn't have a temp gauge so who would know until it was too late?  )

French engine

Petrol? Thought that was just the Toybota diesel...
