hello my name is Paul
i currently drive a vauxhall astra club 1.6 but im now looking for something with a little more poke thats going to last me a while, im 25 with 3 kids and im needing something bigger to keep the brood happy on long trips, but also need something thats going to last me 5 years +. (i only do 8k miles a year )
iv had a long hard look at the insignia, new mondeo, old mondeo, mazda 6, Mitsubishi lancer gs3 ect ect .......then i stumbled across the seat Altea 2.0 tdi (140) (accidentally pressed seat on auto trader app) and to be honest i liked what i saw!
i didnt realy consider a seat but from reading the reviews and post on this forum iv decided that im going with the Altea!
Im a bit of a tinkerer ......and the urge is coming back........ iv built a motorbike but i cant put 3 kids and the missus on it (search xvs bobber 125 in google images if your interested) but anyway iv been looking into the altea and im liking what i read, and this seems to be the best place if not the only place for good info.
anyway im not all that good at intro's so forgive me if i waffle on.
im after a bit of advice to be honest, iv seen a few alteas in my price range but want to know if there is anything to look out for? im after one with about 30-40k miles and am thinking of a re-map and clutch upgrade (cant find a thing about clutches on google) so im on the look out for a good engine to start with, as to faults i have no idea what im looking out for when buying one so any advice would be appreciated.
cheers .Paul.
