    So Astra just been took away for scrap think the most annoying thing was seeing my car that’s been stood on the drive for 2 weeks with -6 temperatures starting first time lol and having to get up at 7am to give him the keys after sleeping for 3 hrs after doing a night shift!!!
    Now off to get daughter ready for school then hopefully back to bed!!!

    Well I got the car luckily and very very grateful the in-laws help us with 3k I didn’t really want to but it’s more for the wife I guess and they wanted to help so gave it us as a gift I did have £800 to one side for our holiday in July but I’ve had to use that so will need to work on getting that back up now.


    2015 ds4 1.6TDI 56k £35 road tax and god knows why is about £20 a month cheaper on insurance hopefully similar or better mpg then the Astra j.
    its a 2015 version but luckily just before they started to add the adblue versions as I’ve read some horror stories with the pumps and tanks failing.
