Christ Chad we've had some of those. Got more bits than Peugeot. A bit prone to head gasket troubles until they went to front mount intercoolers with the Hdi. The 2.1 TD is a a doable conversion too. thumbs

agree black cars are a get to keep clean. I used to have a black Ford Orion (showing my age now Shocked ) and it was beautiful once washed, t-cut and polished Cool . However, after a few days and some rain it looked awful as it showed all the streaks etc ShockedShocked . Good luck Mark, think you may need a few extra hours in the day mate ShockedLaughingLaughing

Don't get my wrong, there comfy cars inside and on motorways/dual carriageways, just roads like we got around here it was horrible. Like your doing, removing run flats would probs help as they are hard and don't suck up the bumps too well!

I always wanted an orion gear in blue mmm. Yeah removing the run flats should make for a softer ride. And ypur right about the black it never looks clean.
