Nope, no decent diesel auto estates for less than £10k. Zero, nada, zip... >:D

If it sorts itself out when you stop and turn it off, and on again.  Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes or so, that can sometimes clear electrical gremlins out.  :)

I just found my dream car... Search for yours https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202502209296164?advertising-location=at_cars&atmobcid=soc5&body-type=Estate&fromsra&fuel-type=Diesel&price-to=5000&radius=40&searchId=8a98e8e1-23b8-4f34-8b42-369253957da0&sort=price-asc&transmission=Automatic

From the MoT history this one would be a pretty safe bet as well.
An ancient Volvo, with starship miles, in Bradford. Perfect  ;D

Mine had 190,000 miles on it when I sold it, but it was great. Kinda wish I hadn't got rid now.  :-\

I'll need to find a replacement for the Mondeo soonish.  I want a big estate and another V70 is definitely high on the list.  :y

Or maybe an XC70.  :)

At least the paint hasn't fallen of it >:D

Besides it will probably out live your Astra.

XC 70 has handbrake issues and cables are a bar steward to renew on older model.

I think I may have over egged the state of my Astra's paintwork. The front doors are 'pinkish', not 'falling off'. It's a bit mucky right now, but you can probably see what I mean

And, as for outliving my astra....no. I haven't spent a penny on it.....ever, so it's in need of a bit of tlc.
I could buy a car for a few grand, spend thousands on it, and lose money when I come to sell it. But I don't think I'll bother  ;D
