Due to a change in circumstances my 3.0 Jag is not viable with immediate effect!

I've been looking for either a mondeo TDCI MK3, 406 HDi, that sort of Era - commonrail diesels.

So far the ones I've seen have been complete nails - one "garage" had one that was so poor it was almost a joke, cords showing on 2 tyres, misfire, won't go in gear, stank of, something! the list goes on..

Anyone suggest any cars to look for that perhaps I've not considered? Really want something that will do in the 60+mpg mark on a run.

Not long had that jag either 

Vectra C, ok they are not brilliant, but Trade Club parts should be cheap as chips to run?

Veccy C diesels are holding good money.
I'll be keeping the Jag... just not as a daily commute..

£500 Omega (loads of those about)

Just run it even on petrol? Cause even if you spend say £2k on a nice oil burner, going to take you a while to save £1,500 of fuel....
