Title: I'd Like a Diesel Please

Hi All.
Just wondering if anyone has or knows of a good diesel Mig for sale. I really love my 2.6 but I can live without 17.5mpg as 90% of my journeys are round town.
Ideally as late as possible and with a twin electrics towbar (not asking for much).
I've seen a nice one on eBay but can't get to Wallsall to look at it.

All ideas gratefully received.

Thanks
John

Not sure if it's my eyes, but does the expansion tank level look very low?

Looks nice and yes the expansion tank does look low.
Is 166000 miles a lot for a diesel or could you expect many more?

It's now in the "watch pile".

That all depends on how well it's been maintained, but they will reach at least 300K if they are looked after.
