Rather than changing the head unit, I'm thinking of getting one of these because they can be used as both in-car & personal radios.

If anyone has seen & heard one of these fitted, I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks. Read more

I've seen a couple of '02 306 hdi estates at an independent dealer which are in my price range. There are two things which I'm not sure about.

Firstly one is an ex-lease car. I know all the points about them having been serviced properly, but is there anything to look out for? i.e. can a car be classified as a lease but have been a hire car?

Secondly the ex-lease has a towbar. The dealer pointed out it only has one power socket and therefore will have not have been used with a caravan.. true? Is it wise to leave it fitted as presumably they've drilled through something to attach it..?

I've read that the trim can wear easily - did the GLX come with more robust seating material?

Thanks Read more

Having one socket does not mean it has not been used with a caravan, just not with a caravan that has split charging/power set up.

Lease cars are on the whole fine. At least you can be sure its been maintained to a basic level.
