i didnt find them no better on fuel than 1.6 petrols, diesels 5-6p more a litre and they only get 40mpg average i think if that. Maybe i used to much turbo

They were probably just a bit confused as to why a primered up pug went pass them, unable to stop and in a cloud of steam.

How did you possibly boil the coolant on a diesel!

I feel this cars early demise is imminent, my money is on the Turbo sucking up the engine oil!
