Just a thought.......... I bought a 1999 T reg petrol for a few hundred quid and, after getting used to the jaguar comfort decided to punt £4500 on a 06 2.7d. Excellent car and no bother as the T reg had a few "niggles" Why not increase your budget and get the best you can. There's a garage in Ellesmere Port that has a 55 reg 2.7d for 5k, one owner and100k milage.
