  1. The IAM, http://www.iam.org.uk/ , have recently started a new insurance scheme for members that seems to be really good. I've just had an accident, but before that I'd just arranged to insure my 850 Volvo estate, full business use, fully comp including europe with no limit to the amount of times I could go, up to 50,000 miles a year, (carry tools....engineer) £215.50 (I'll let you know what the new quote is now I've had an own fault bump when I know)
  2. Hello all, and thankyou for allowing me to join the forum. I'm in the rather embarrasing position of having crashed my Volvo 850 estate, its in the process of being written off (my fault entirely). I work as an electronics engineer and supply my own car, I usually buy an estate car for a couple of grand and run it for two years or so, high mileage motorway stuff. I've been looking at some citroens, hence I'm on here ! There are some very nice below two grand xantia diesel estates on auto trader, and one very nice looking C5 estate (Y plate, 65,000 miles from new, one owner) for £1995 What are the pitfalls with these cars guys ? My mates keep telling me to leave well alone, suspension problems etc, but none of these mates have ever owned one, its all just hearsay. I'm impressed by the reported fuel economy, with the price of fuel this is important to me, but so is reliability Many thanks in advance for any help
