Toms306's China HDi Estate 2012

[procta]

Lol why put all that work into something to sell it straight away. I take pride in fixing all the niggles then driving around!

Simply because it costs so much to run....I assumed I'd get 55-60mpg from it, I also assumed insurance would be a lot cheaper but I knew the tax was expensive. I took the wrong choice in the catch 22 situation, I should've spent a bit more purchase price on something I could afford to run.

I'm stuck with it till atleast Feb now though, its saving grace is that I need an estate atm. Wish I'd gone for a mondeo/320D estate instead - yeah theyd cost more to buy and fix, but atleast I'd be able to run them. Im having days now where I simply can't afford to go out, and having to let other people down because of that.

It will be explained in a thread later on though...as I need some serious advice/guidance from people with more wisdom than myself.

tom man up will ya my HDi took me from sunderland with a full weighted car to brands hatch, brands hatch to camp a few times and then fully weighted again back home. i used over half a tank to get down there and the same to get back.
all in all i spent about 120 quid that was fueling up before i went to down to brands hatch and fueled up again down while down there and that tank got me home again too.
