Tomorrow morning the 98 TDi leaves the stable after nine years of superb service and will be replaced by a D3. Really looking forward to getting it and start all over again with the various modifications.
Have enjoyed this site since researching info for the purchase and look forward to many years of useful information. Like many others I require a suitable towing set-up and hope the HR unit will fit the bill for a van with towball height of 55cm.

Welcome will! I upgraded from a Td5 which gave me superb service as well. The D3 is a whole new animal, smoother, more refined, much more powerful, and more capable. You are going to love it!
What sort of D3 are you getting into? '06 TDV6 SE AUTO BUCKINGHAM BLUE
'98 Volvo V70
'87 Mecedes 420 SEL
'08 BMW 135i Coupe Twin Turbo
