any vehicle has to fit thse conditions

must be automatic ... i physically cannot drive a manual

must have easy access both in and out without being too high or low sidesteps ideal plus a grab rail

needs to be able to accomodate my large and heavy joystick controlled electric wheelchair .... clive has seen this and knows what its like .

needs to have a flat floor ( not a boot ) to load wheelchair in and out

ideally 7 seats too so i can take the grandkids with me to the seaside etc

ideally diesel ( cheaper to run more mpg generally )

ideally 4x4 because if it snows etc im knackered if i get stuck , but this isnt too essential

reliable ( see above )

thats about it , clive has seen me and knows my problems , hope this helps you all with a little insight .

kind regards......... love ya to bits

I think you are describing the car you already have , well maybe not the reliable bit ;O)

Not sure I actually believe the "sounds like" diagnostics and would rather see it stripped down first .

But if it's a fix or a replacement engine I would be happy to chip in again.

Can't afford much as I seem to have worn out my rear shocks.

Don't know how that happened ;O)
