Need a cheap diesel shitter, as my fuel costs are crucifying me at the moment, all my expendable income is going on fuelling the Golf.

Ok, know its a tall order, needs to be taxed and tested, have a turbo so can at least pull the skin off a ricepudding and cost not much more than £500. I dont mind dents etc, just not in red (evil colour) and not a Renault.

If anyone knows of one can they pm please.

Has to have a turbo or I will kill it through sheer frustration, and me and ebay dont get on, dont even have an account. Looks like the hg has gone on the golf now, damn it, can do without it.

SO you want a cheap turbo ...........why does it need turbo if you need cheap as well?

I think you need to ask yourself which is more important.

Low insurance/running cost/Turbo big engine?

Turbo because a diesel wont pull the skin of a rice pudding and I do 600+ miles a week!! Saab is a sporty car not a family wagon, so wont be cheap. And seeing as Im only getting 35mpg in the golf I am getting ass raped and Im not liking it. Mate has a passat, had it mapped, he can still get 70mpg!!!
