"Would never, ever buy a car with a diesel engine!"
And why is that..?
Quote " New Honda Diesel
There are four trim levels and it meets the latest Euro 6 emissions rules, making it cleaner than many petrol engines.
It's a smooth operator — particularly on motorways — and drives and handles well with ample pulling power and a precise six-speed manual gearbox. It goes from rest to 62 mph in 9.8 seconds and on to 125 mph.
Fuel consumption is its trump card with a claimed average of 80.7 mpg. Prices start from £20,120 for the Civic S, a premium of up to £1,300 over the petrol versions."
The old Astra Isuzu engines were bullet proof. I had an oil pump pulley give up doing at 95 on the outside lane of the M1. All I did was replace the oil pump, re-time the engine and cranked her over. She saw me for another 50,000. Only reason she went was I needed a bigger car, my Mrs should say no more often...Some years ago had Astra 1.7 diesel van, filled with unleaded and did about 10 miles before I realised as it was a bit sluggish. Drained petrol, filked with diesel, and no problems. Did it again some time later, had 3/4 tank of diesel, filled with unleaded (yes I know) travelled about 20 miles, getting slower and slower until it finally stopped. Garage towed me back, drained, refilled and off we went, did another 37,000 miles with never a problem, still going strong when we parted company.
