Sorry, after all that I forgot to mention to be careful when purchasing a 2nd hand 105 series, as plenty of these vehicles obviously see alot of work out in the mines and other such places. I looked at a few before buying my one.
Cheers,

I plan to do as much homework as possible before parting with any cash !!!
My son is working in a mine in WA so I hear stories of what they get up to in the cars over there.
I think the best story he tells is of an engineer and a truck driver
Anyway the engineer gets his wife a job in the mine driving a huge haualpack truck. Some years and 3 children later the wife finds husband playing away with one of the young barmaids in townShe is incredibly understanding he is mid 40's and she understands he is having a mid life fling so suggests he rent a flat for the barmaid and stay with her a few nights a week and spend weekends at home with her and the kids.
The bloke is happy the barmaid is happy and by the looks of things the wife is happy.
About 9 months later the wife's fully laden haualpack accidently backs over the engineers car crushing it and him into oblivion. Police investigate, she has made no threats, there is absolutely no evidence other than it is an accident, everyone knows what she has done but instead of a jail term she gets a huge payout his insurance and compensation for her loss. The barmaid lost her flat a week later
All i know my 4.2TD 105 series uses 14L/100klm. It has 350 thou on the clock, I give it a service every 5000 and still going strong... Tthere are plenty 105's out there at the right price that havn't seen the dirt will .. I reckon go the 105...
Cheers BD
