on the other hand i won't touch another common rail diesel 'cos when they go they are expensive to fix.

Thats true they are expensive to fix but then again iv'e had 2 with minimal problems so iv'e had a relatively clear run for 6 years .

think i was just unlucky with my citroen considering the low milage of it .
i might depending on job circumstances (higher milage) look at a diesel they seem to last better than the hdi engines.
