Goodbye For Now

[gazza007]

After 5 reasonablish years the Alhambra has now gone.

Had my problems, including slave clutch servo fail 2 weeks ago, with 4 days to a family trip down south.... but she has been of great service to myself & growing children.

Don't need all the seats now, as I have been on my own for the last year or so & very rarely needed to accomodate more than 5 but I like estates for the versatility & SEAT don't do one.

I would like to thank all those past & present for their posts & assistance in this very helpful forum.

This was my 1st VAG & diesel car & has prompted me to after several months of research into various brands to go for a 12 month old VW Passat Estate 2.0 TDI S 140 DSG. I managed to get a very good deal. In comparsion the car isn't as well spec'd as SEAT & can't fit all those odds & ends in the door pockets & plentiful cubby holes that the Bamma had. But it drives amazing, the 140 is so much smoother, quieter & responsive that the 115 but I guess that is progress. The DSG box is like no other auto I have driven, the automatic handbrake with auto-hold is again very clever. I urge you to try one.

I will continue to stay in the background.

 

Cheers
