Well, I went and had a poke at my local dealer, and, I've only gone and bought a brand new Bora PD130 Highline! Diamond Black, full leather, cruise, arm rest, parking sensors, auto-wipers, dimming mirrors, 16" Monty IIs, full-height MFA display and a kinda brushed aluminium trim (not the same as a Anni, darker).
Was very impressed with the drive - the PD's really do pull well at low revs. It's nowhere near as quick as the V6 off the mark, but it doesn't hang about either. The indicated 48mpg pleased me greatly, too!
Got an *insane* amount off the list price - over ?3.5k after haggling, and got them to fit a 6-cd changer for free to boot! They even gave me a great trade-in on the V6!
So, I'll be joining the dark side, it seems! Pics soon!!
UPDATE
Well, the deal's off. A change in my personal circumstances has meant that despite the great deal that the dealer offered me, I just can't justify the extra wedge at the moment. [
] So, I've still got the V6 at the moment, and am still looking for a diesel... the quest continues. [

Such a shame, cracking car that Bora - it's still there at Telford VW, if anyone wants it!
So - absolute ceiling of ?11k....what should I do? Furby vRS springs to mind....
