Hi to all
I'm on my second Saxo at the moment.
The first I bought new in 2000 (1.5d) and ran it for 8 years clocking up 165,000 miles before I sold it. Only ever had to replace consumables, one driveshaft and rear axle. A truly fantastic car.
Having sold it as it didnt suit our needs at the time I went into 4x4 territory.
Now I find myself doing more miles to work and back and the 4x4 is too thirsty so I have recently picked up a one owner 2003 1.5d with just 31,000 on the clock.
A very nice driving motor but the inner drive shaft boot had previously come off and was starting to make noises so a quick change to a new shaft and all is back to normal.
I'm hoping for similar galactic mileage with this one !!!
