[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 638353, member: 240839"] I would quite happily disagree with you there :D I have owned 3 Vauxhall Diesels and they have all been fantastic cars :eek: Vauxhall Nova 1.5TD 1991( Isuzu lump ), This car would do well over 100 mph all day long, would run on virtually anything you put in the tank, Diesel, Veg oil, Bio, Kerosene, Red, filtered sump oil & chip fat, oh and petrol as the wife found out :toke: It only refused to start once in 3 years when the final glow plug died. yes it would quite happily start on 1 working glow plug on a cold Aberdeen morning :D Vauxhall Cavalier 1.7TD 1993 (Isuzu lump) As above, had 112 MPH out of her (according to the satnav) while in Germany. Unfortunately it died at 198,000 miles when the sump got damaged by something in the road and it dumped all its oil :mad: Prior to that it never broke down in 2 years :D Vauxhall Cavalier 1.7D 1995 (GM lump) Got me all over Spain and the south of France, Pump failure after running it on Bio diesel. Given to a friend who fixed her up, Shes now approaching the 200,000 mile mark with very little in the way of breakdowns. Still manages over 100 mph with ease and it still doesn't use any oil :cool: It also never broke down before the incident with the bio diesel :-righton :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
