"Insurance is an afterthought..." Haha.
No I havent, I wanna know how much it would cost for everything to do it to see if it's worth while even before looking at the insurance.

I know exactly how bulletproof the 2.0 HDi engine is. But im just fed up of constantly being surrounded by diesel. Everyone I know is switching and I dont like being a sheep and following them all I wanna be different  haha.

I would check though, No point in thinking about it if you can't afford the payment's, Might as well see if it's a viable thing to do first.
