Need some purchase advice

[Bluntman]

Awesome, thanks Bigrig. I've just spent 8k getting one of my engines rebuilt and really don't want to have to go through that process again in a hurry.

mine has done about 315k, the last 100k with gas and is due for the head/values to be done...

one of my exhaust valves is leaking

RoundTown Petrol.Nearest Town=100Ks go Diesel!

Im in the latter? of that and love the idea that my car will run on baby oil if need be...

Mines not a duel fuel, just petty only........ the other thing to look at is the difference in purchase price, the td4.2 are more desirable and usually command a far higher price tag, I just offset the amount I saved by buying a petrol to by fuel and other bits n pieces instead.

i have the td 42 diesel now and my next rig will be a petrol, the only reason i can give is that i want one had diesel for over 10 years time to upgrade and up the hp

I find the petrol / gas patrols vary in consumption my diesel i had I used to get 650km to the tank and my gas i would get 200 - 320 to a 70lt tank more found very expensive to run
