Many thanks for all of the extra information Adam (yep, I've been reading your blog).
Your pictures etc fill in a few details - I was going to ask how many are travelling in the vehicle; a question of how heavily loaded is the X Trail, and you cover that in the blog.
I think you are getting excellent value out of that 3K purchase.
You do make me wonder how many miles this vehicle has done so far? (you mention the usual puff of black diesel smoke when flooring the pedal).
I am impressed with your blog as well  . Going off topic for a moment, I have read your information about Iran, so far, and it all makes for great reading - highly recommended for anyone else here in the HUBB who wants to know about that country.
