the derv's are only better on MPG if you do alot of motorway miles, town driving there about the same!

Yeah that's a significant saving even in town use. Proportionately it's probably the same as motorway use. 40mpg in town is good!

im gonna be biast and say get a 1.8T i bought mine friday for £4895 on an X 2001 plate with only 61k on the clock

plus its remapped to 230bhp, lowered, 18" alloys, dump valve, induction etc etc

i found mine on the AutoTrader website, if you bide your time you should find a bargain

Should you have a Baileys dump valve on ya car? Specially pushin 240horses?
