Latest mod pictures...my hybrid Ibiza - now sold!

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

So will the new motor be mk4 or mk5 then Ash?

Found a Mk4 on a 53 plate with 33k on the clock. But I dunno if I can afford it.

The tax is £245, insurance is £825 and fuel is 24mpg.

Whereas with the Ibiza the tax is going DOWN this year from £120 - £110, the fuel is mid 40's and insurance is £687.

mk 4 obviously!!! has to e there so much nicer than the mk5 i think. as for the mpg it killed me when i sold my beeza but ul get sed to it

The Mk5's are gonna be £435 as of April 2010.....so dont want one!

Sent it to your email address. But I've got my eye on another now for £2k less! With alot more gismo's too....

It'd cost double the Ibiza to run a week though. About £50 a week. Is it worth it?

Silver again. Wrong colour but easy to look after! Wont show stone chips as much, little fine scratches etc. If you come on msn I'll send you a linky.

Last week - I decided to have a look to see what my air filter looked like as I know I havent cleaned it for about 11,000 miles! So out it popped...

FILTHY! Had hay in it and everything!

The results just by tapping it on the edge of the sink:

The results after using the air filter cleaner:

Dried:

Oiled and ready to fit:

MUCH better!

Oh - and notice the trip reading, which I reset when I filled up.....

This is when I went into the fuel station to fill up again...

What do you get out of a tank? 280 miles? 380 miles was only on 3/4 of a tank too

The majority of that was motorway which helps

And a few snowy pics of my car at work - wish I hadn't bothered as people who lived in the same town didn't even bother!

And excuse the horrific ride height, but the back wheel on the other side is in a sizeable hole!
