    MPV/similar, diesel, auto + leather. 2 litre max, 2.2 at a stretch. NOT new, but, say, around 18k.

    What would you recommend? What would you avoid (esp C8, 806, Ulysse). What about Sedona's ? ( I know it's a big engine.......)

    Quick - need for Sunday !

    Doh! Totally missed your sig! :o

    You could probably rule most things Japanese out as they don't tend to sell diesel autos unless you find a JDM import.

    Maybe including a SUV might give a better choice.

    Found what I think will do the job - have to forego the automatic, but get the space + diesel: Mazda MPV 2.0td. Will try and look at, and if o.k., buy/collect Saturday.
