Selling it is not really a solution though... Its my first car, I have to stick with it for a while, It was brought for me by my dad...

Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 12:37 pm ---- Haha macj that's a bit harsh, my first car was a 1.9 diesel, even a 1.2 petrol is a better and more responsive, the only thing going for the diesel engine is fuel economy mate, other than that the best advice I can give u is get your first years no claims and sell up and buy something else that's what I did
#15: Re: Whats sort of things can you do to a diesel? Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 1:05 pm ---- The general advice tends to be just keep the engine serviced, but you can still make it handle better
