If you don't want RDW, what about a 3 series XI?
4wd is the safest form of traction.
For the fixing things part: I think engines which are transverse mounted are maybe harder to work on. Especially if you have turbo trouble!
Inline mounted engines are only difficult in that a car lift is convenient. Especially with clutch work.
I don't know how prices are in the UK, but what about an Alfa romeo 159? Those cars are gorgeous.
MAybe not the most reliable, but hey, you're doing the maintanance yourself
If you go for a volvo diesel, get the inline 5 cilinder in a v70 or so. Those engines are nice.
