Tom, you keep posting cars with problems which will end up blowing the budget in repairs.

I'd get what ever I came across in that budget that fitted the bill, can't see there being that many options to be fair!

See I would go for a 1.8 LS myself we had one and it covered well over a 100k still on the cambelt which was done at 20k miles when we got it. Also nothing ever broke on it and it took every bit of abuse going!
