Replace rear springs
Replace air-conditioning compressor
New EGR valve
New mass air meter
Renew windscreen wiper linkage
Replace front springs
Replace various suspension components
These problems in isolation don't make me want to get shot of the car but as its got the infamous 150bhp diesel engine, I know that the DMF/clutch will need replacing sooner rather than later (it's got the dreaded death rattle) and that the swirl valve may well go too.
I would much rather put the £1600+ that it would cost to do these fixes towards something else. The question is what?
I have a few ideas:
Mazda 6 (old model, not the latest)
Saab 9-3 (petrol turbo)
Ford Focus or Mondeo
Does anyone have any experience on the above or have any other suggestions? I have around £5k to spend.
