As I keep saying, MOT is next week! 
. Just need to sort EML first lol. Most other things are done now. Pumped up the spare. Gonna sort the backbox join tomoro and somehow clip the fuel lines back up.
Then will book it in for inner CV boot, tyre repair and MOT all at my local garage. See what happens and go from there.
And I like the diesel for a lazy drive and (theoretical) mpg. But the noise, lack of revs, crap power delivery all make me want a petrol again. I mean the Avensis wasn't quick, but it revved well, sounded nice on throttle and had a reasonably smooth delivery. But it was noisy and revved high at constant motorway speeds, drunk a lot of fuel for what power it had and wasnt as easy round town/hills as the diesel as I don't use the handbrake usually, just pull away on the clutch, off the brake onto the throttle.....that doesn't happen in a petrol though lol. So they both have pros and cons. The ideal would be two cars, but I'm not rich enough lol.
