    That's probably my biggest concern, and even though (touch wood!) I've never been out for more than a couple of weeks, you just never know and whilst it's only < a days £££, when times are hard it's another debt you don't need.

    I just don't know what to do

        well you need a new vehicle. if youve got 10k spare
        become a boring middle aged old f@rt and get a hyundai or a kia and start churning

        if not, lease a decent one and take the risk

          Don't you lease your car, Dodgy?

          Or am I imagining you posting about it a while back?

            You do realise that the ads for diesels should read 'not as crappy as they used to be'.
            Think you are quoting the old 730d, current 730d 0-60 7.2
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              No wonder so many contractors end up poor. Frittering away large amounts of cash on a vanity object.
              Invest the money so you can get out of the rat race instead

                    I was comparing E65 with E65. I have tried the new one, and it is quicker, but its not 5.5, whatever the torque.

                    I find that the big diesels arequick off the mark but run out of puff quickly, hence the 2-3 second difference to 60 for similar torque outputs. Don't believe the hype, petrol is still quicker than diesel, and having compared MPGs, not any better in a big car, and more expensive per gallon. I can't see why I would change.
