Need a new MPV - any recommendations?

I wonder if you could give me some advice on people carriers? Our 2005 Galaxy TDI Ghia automatic with 100,000 miles on the clock collided with the central reservation of the M1 and I am bracing myself to be told that it is technically a write off.

Two specific questions: What would be a reasonable offer from the insurers if they do declare it a total loss and what would you recommend to replace it?

About £4000 - £4500 would be a fair price. Go for a later model Galaxy 2.0 TDCI 6-speed auto off the Addison Lee fleet.

Any colour you like as long as it's black. Addison Lee, corner of Hampstead Road and Granby Terrace, just South of Greater London House, London, tel 0207 3889799. They have a fleet of more than 3000 all diesel automatics.
