A few nice surprises, insurance less than quoted, tax less than I thought, and seller cocked up on deposit receipt so ended up paying 100 less, should've put the lottery on

1996 2.5 dse, been loving the last couple of days cruising round in it, getting approximately 21mpg, very good ride although needs tracking done
Glad you got it and apparently happy, though why do peeps keep going for oil burners when they really are not that economical is beyound me;
Gotta be a V8 & petrol at that.....sounds much nicer, no oil fumes, and more powerfull............and still average 18mpg round town!!

Check the leak off pipes, unless you have lead boots you ought to be getting better mpg than that, double the 12mpg a lot of the V8's manage, and more torque than the V8 too with a power box and torque is what you need for mud pluging is it not?

you nee torque to drive these heavy things on the road
My v8 makes a lot of noise but no go, painfully slow coming out of a round about up a long hill on the way to my office
The lancrusher diesel I used to have was so much better torque wise but body roll was interesting
