How the mighty have fallen.

Only a decade ago diesels were set to save the world from pollution with their low Co2 figures.

What that means, Chris, is that dealers will drop their prices slightly on used car stock, and drop the price they'll give you for your trade in.

So only £150 instead of £175?

Apparently nitrogen dioxide is the new bogey man.

Expect additional charges for parking and access to central London.

As to why they've dropped. . . Is it anything to do with the turbos needing replacing? We had 3 cars in last week that needed new turbos. Got my bear paws on one of them and there was so o o o o much play and oil everywhere.

Just wondering if that's one of the reasons?

No. It's cause they're killing people in towns and cities and the EU are getting twitchy. When the EU get twitchy it usually results in a half baked solution which costs someone a lot of money.

I've never been seduced by the diesel dream.

Funny but true. We have a diesel because everything here is a diesel and manual.

[Webby the Bear]

Oh ok, fair enough. Just saying what I see 

I personally would never buy a diesel anyways. Don't like the noise. dont wanna buy a new turbo every so often. Dpf's etc.

N/A petrol every time fir me

IMO , that means too long oil changes....its always worth dropping the sump Mr Bear to check the oil strainer for the turbo pickup.....if its crudded up......it'll be starving the turbo of oil.

I went through 2 turbos on the Skudo I had......garage eventually found a crudded up oil strainer to be the cause.....5000 miles later the engine went bang....

Mr DTM at the time remarked that if the turbo fails the engine wont be far behind!

I was doing stupidly long oil changes on it.....like every 20k 

My VRS is getting oil changes when it wants it.....10k miles....tho some would say that's to long too...

[Webby the Bear]

Oh ok fair points mate. I just assumed the bearings inside failed cos of the harsh job they have I.e. Spinning away at over 200k RPM.
