Hi all I am Wayne from Manchester, well Radcliffe to be precise. I say in the title `bit the bullet` as this is the most modern newest car i have even owned. I am an old 20 year`ish old car lover, easy basic and fixable by me. Now since i have started up working for myself part time and needing a car better on fuel and reliable ( oh yes i still have my 1996 FTO, in need of work and will be done some day ) i looked at BMW and Volvo for the space for my tools, yes it is to carry tools and a van was to much on insurance so i got a policy for car to be used as business which is no much more expensive than a basic car policy. I missed out on four cars until i found this one and gla di did as this is all i was after in one. Oh and i did the the one and only thing i have never done before in the over 20 cars i have had and bought with out viewing first. Must be an age thing is alli can say, or getting more stupid but it is in Nottingham and me in Manchester and have little spare time. X Type estate 2.2D SE 08 plate. 114K on the clock. little high on miles but FSH comes with. I just hope to god it is a good one and comes with very little future problems as said i can fix cars but not these modern plug in gadget cars. Just looking forward to next week now and all the next week of sleepless nights. It has all i wanted as said, the interior, not dark with all black/grey, and diamond ( forgot the name now) love the exterior colour and wheels are a biggy for me. Hope to stick around but not for questions on things that need doing lol. Wayne

Thank's for that Joe great shots ---I really enjoyed because I can't get to these shows anymore ----Frank

hi I would imagine 90mm is standard, 88.9mm will allow for refurb on the cv/driveshaft, usually only way to get them fit correct it to have it skimmed in a lathe, down to the 88.9mm, I would assume cheers Joe
