Sounds like the service count down to me but a picture paints a thousand words.

[quote="tsinc"] Everyone's different then I suppose but I'm not willing to take a 400 mile round trip to buy a £5k car as previous experiences have mainly led to travelling for a "pristine" car for it to end up looking battered in real life.

Previous governments eulogised about diesel and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Now governments are demonising diesel and the effect is a significant slowing of sales which will only get worse as time moves on. Glad I got out a couple of years ago when diesel pricing was still firm. Mind you, a 4 ...
