Thanks for the welcome obi and hopefully I will fit in OK. I'm thinking of getting something biggerthan the Focus, I like my Fords so maybe the Mondeo 2litre or 2.2 I also like the VW Audi group say the Passat or A4. cash is tight maybe 5 to £6K wouldn't like to go mych north of that. I like the mid range punch of the diesel, not into flying starts from the traffic lights it's the 30 to 50 mph effortlessly without changing down I like as well as economic cruise. I read a lot about turbos > £1,000 and other components like EGR etc but also the issue of the EU talking about putting a levy on the UK because we've failed to meet emissions standards and I'm not sure what's coming down the line for diesel owners.
