contrary to popular belief diesels are only good on extreme distance running and at current costs of fuel your better off with a petrol if thats what your after, cant see the point in getting rid of 2 good bits of kit, your insurance should be able to sort out your windscreen out and you could easily sort the bush out too?

shes a carer and does short house to house trips about 40 miles per night dash computer usually sits at 26mpg only every had it to 35mpg on motorway

On short journeys upto about 8 miles the diesel will only get maybe 2mpg more the the petrol
My brother recently picked up a 150gttdi with 114000 miles for £2200 so that gives you a idea how cheap they can be picked up.

tell your girlfriend to keep the revs below 2k as shes drinking your weekends fun juice! seriously though, in 2miles i can get my mpg in the 30's if idrive like an old granny which i am at the mo and have been for the last few months and noticed i've got £100 spare in my account for it, besides, if your important they'll wait for you :wink:
also check all pipes and what-not to ensure nothings chewing up power there, guy at the garage said i'd get better performance if i sorted out my pipe work :nerd:
