    Hi all from sunny Gt Yarmouth !!

    well i just can't shake off this addiction, this is my 4th disco in 3 years, past models were 3 dr tdi, 5 dr v8 on gas, and 5 dr es tdi manual. Now have 5 dr tdi auto, returned back to the home soil 4 years ago from japan, so no welding needed! (yet). If there's a cure, let me know, cheers, john.
