My mate has a 2007 audi a3 and gets 50mpg in town. Thinks it's the 130bhp. just a thought

So glad my job gives me a new van and a free diesel card. Depending where the job is I can put in £150 a week  :shocked:

Its a derv, its the torques you wanna be watching  :smiley:

No, I do 100 miles a day of which 80 miles it motorway and the other 20 A roads. The only time my car goes down dodgy back roads and over speed bumps is when am following you..... :tongue:

and up the a43 ?  oh yeah, ur turbo was letting go  :laugh:

And it will be letting go again if he doesn't sort those boost leaks  :lipsrsealed:

I do a 1450 mile round trip a month, I love working so far from home (not really) the Celica never miss's a beat, I tried the diesel thing and it was sh!t, Megane 2004, Mondeo 2004 and Vectra 2003 all pants, back in a jap car and it's a lot more fun, even if it costs me an extra £160 a month  :laugh:

Lots of good suggestions here, thanks!

Will keep you posted on cars i go to view.

The new job is same company, different role, so different "office" as it were.

I thought you "served the public" or am I way off the mark......

Really tempted by a Mk5 TDI however im not sure if i can bring myself to get a MK5 that isnt a GTI. I just dont think i can do that.

Audi A4 / Passat could be a contender.
