    punto diesel

    sold my sporting today (yesterday now 19th), and found a jtd up for sale, ok, its as id describe 'crap' condition lol, but its alright for £1100 with a years mot and 6 months tax, got a new cd player/speakers too which i should get £60+ for. mechanicly it seems spot on though, just need to find a breaking orange sporting/hgt now tho.

    it is so much nicer than my mk1, ride quality, handeling, etc etc just seems alot better, its meant to be a fair bit slower than my sporting too, but it feels quicker, i dont think it is, but it seems to have quite alot of pull through 2nd and 3rd gears.

    I personally wouldnt say thats worth £1100 as the back end is quite nasty but as long as you like it....

    I dont blame you for going diesel either.

    well for a jtd with 12 months mot with 85k which is quite low for a jtd, most have clocked up 120k at least, i think £1100 is alright, it does need work but the jtd is rare, and dont come up for sale often, and i reckon il get that rear panel sorted quite cheaply, cos its on bottom corner they should be able to blend the paint in and not repaint the whole panel.

    i love it lol, iv noticed how much better fuel economey is and iv only been driving it for a few hours lol.

    cruising on the motorway at 70 at 2k revs is pretty nice too, so quiet and smooth.

    Like i told you ages ago Boses, Diesals will feel quick upto 3.5-4k rpm in the lower gears because of the torque. Looks OK, bar the rear quarter messery, i bet 1100 is a good price IMO.

    once remapped it should really fly, its got 80bhp at the moment, they get 130ish after remap and torque is raised similar amount too

    it is quite a bit of a shed, but so was my sporting tbh, it just didnt show in the pics.
