Nissan Qashqai+2 - Finally traded my Tino in 1 May 2018 (Forum)
It’s got the 1.6 CDi Renault start stop engine which Honest John seems to rate. I really wanted an automatic and wasn’t after a diesel but I do enough long runs and will be driving to France this year so the fuel economy will be nice. Had Diesel vans for years so kind of know what to expect with maintenance. 12 month warranty and 2 years free servicing plus got £400 for my Tino which is what I paid for it and it’s only worth £100 now. -

2002 Ford Focus TDCi 115 - Lumpy idle after injector recode 22 Mar 2013 (Forum)
After the 30 seconds from starting, the car runs and performs perfectly. To note, I cleaned and blanked the egr a few months back, the fuel filter is changed every year (last in december) I use super (non supermarket) diesel, the cam sensor has already been changed and the glow plugs are only about a year old. Anyone have any ideas???? -
BMW 325i May 2010 E90 3.0 litre - BMW 325i (E90 3.0) - noisy at idle 22 Nov 2011 (Forum)
Although in many ways a better drive than the Lexuses I'm really struggling with just how noisy it is at idle and low revs - especially (but not only) when cold. It sounds like a diesel and I HATE the sound of diesel engines. It went to the dealer a few months ago after the amber engine warning light came on and they replaced the ignition coil and spark plugs. It was OK for a while but has since got noisier and noisier. -

Life after Subaru 8 Aug 2007 (Forum)
Any other suggestions...my criteria are M/L hatch/estate, 30mpg + in combined driving,excellent reliability and decent handling, petrol or diesel. Image not necessary! Perhaps a Mondeo 2.5 V6, late model petrol Astra estate, old style Primera 2.0 Sport (if I could find a good un) some kind of Focus?? Any suggestions please...petrol model will presumably be cheaper to repair if anything goes wrong, and I am a bit wary of high mileage TDCi diesels...perhaps unnecessarily so.
