Well, it's a big old car. Not had much chance to use it yet, but it's
in condition as described. All the buttons seem to work and it shifts
acceptably well ;)

Couple of bits of trim missing off the back console (not that I'm ever
likely to set in the back) and the cowl for the driver's seat height
adjustment is a bit loose.

More worryingly, no CD changer!!!! How do I sort that in a fortnight?

Suggestions, please.

1. New head unit with MP3 cd capability - shuv all your favourite tracks
onto 1 or 2 CDs and stick it on random.

2. How about one of those MP3 thingys with FM transmitter - plug it into
your cigarette lighter, tune in the FM and stick it on random.

3. Walkman / ipod / personal mp3 player

4. keep changing disks yourself

5. Sing

6. Get someone else to sing.

7. Listen to the engine

New head unit might be tricky on this. It's all integrated.

You're kidding! Even the 156 had a standard fit single CD player by
2001. I'm amazed..
