My Passat Highline TDi is my daily hack. 1.9 AWX - bulletproof.
54 plate with a mere 121k miles, they are good for 300k....at least.
I'll be gutted if it gets forced off the road at some point.
Diesels these days are doing so many MPG, this is what it's all about. Nothing else....nothing.
Electric and hybrid is out of reach to the masses at the moment, til then, watch more petrol cars drink more fuel....more at the pumps, more in the government pocket.
Simple, pubs are empty, high streets are empty. People don't have the spare cash like they used to. Next, driveways will be empty....you have been warned.

No why? Got my rocker gasket set to hand. Will be done shortly along with gear linkage.

So Jaygsi, are you based in cambridge?

An oil leak has always been an advisory only, its only if the oil leak is severe enough that the oil reaches the brakes that itll fail, even then you cant fail the leak per se, you have to fail it on the brakes being contaminated by oil

Don't use trains. Not used a bus for 9 years. Only use petrol. Never owned a diesel, hate them. And they stink.
LPG is the way forward for the diesel boys. Half price of petrol so workout same of less than diesel.

Best thing about Subaru's is the under tray. Hides any oil leaks 😉
