Thanks gents! I was wondering if I was out of order getting so mad but what a waste of time,effort and money. I missed the turnoff on the way home with the red mist having descended!! Seems no honour at play anyway. He had a 123d with 12k miles. We ended up buying an 08 120d coupe,lovely tight machine. Would that be 163 or 177bhp would anyone know lads? Thanks again,nice to vent! The fact his secretary rang confirms to me he knew himself what he did was wrong.
