Hi

I had a 2005 Compass Avantgarde - manufactured by the Explorer Group - and it sat lovely on the 2.2 Peugeot. No problems to report during the short ownership period which included a trip to Italy and Austria in a bitterly cold January!

That's good to know, I have driven quite a few over the last few months but to me this one stood out it really is a pleasure to drive very quiet & responsive.
Although I have to admit Iv'e always been a fan of peugeot diesels & own a 406 hdi 110 & love it.

We did have the misfortune of travelling up to Shrewsbury to look at a 2.8 jtd swift the owner insisted it was mint, even though I told him I had worked in the trade so try to be honest as I will be looking closely. No problem it's really good.

Well I think it was advertised at £16000 so we went all the way up there & I don't know what happened to the Mhome he was describing on the phone but it was obviously not the one we were looking at.

The engine compartment was covered in rust Obviously a flood victim!! engine looked like it had done 100,000 not the 20,000 advertised absolutely no grunt at all wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
Gearbox & clutch were awful I wouldn't have paid £1600 never mind £16000 then he says he's only had it a month but wanted a Kontiki he has instead. (I bet He does but not at my expense)

I did manage to remain polite even though I was not happy having gone all the way up there for nothing.
