Avant, is it possible for the tech people to add a thanks and/or like button at the end of posts ( this is done on landlordzone forum ) ? Nearly all people on the forum are polite and this would make it easier to acknowledge posts. Read more
With all the talk of costly failures on modern turbo diesel cars. DPF, DMF & premature turbo failure, I'm hankering back to a simpler time. The days when a simple well maintained Diesel engine could cover massive mileages with little grief for owners.
I've been in a Nissan Bluebird 2.0dLX with over 1m miles on its original engine, a Mk II Granada 2.5DL with more than 750k, Isuzu engined Cavaliers with 500k upwards, a Peugeot E7 HDI with 850k and I've sold a Toyota Carina 2.0 XLd with 452k which was running and driving fine.
There's a small dealer local to me selling a 1990 Mercedes 250D in poverty spec with low miles that is tempting me to open my wallet. But question is. What was the most robust car ever built? What would you buy if you could only run one car from now on? Read more

Avant - I sincerely apologise if you thought I was having a go at you. I appreciate voluntary work - I do some myself as a school governor. I have previously posted thanks.
The issue was not about like buttons : it was about good manners andI stand by that.
