thinking about buying... by mr scratch on Mon Jun 01, 2009 11:12 am
a 2.2dti ltd.

hi everyone, am new to the boards and the world of fog.
i have seen this for sale on autotrader http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... egLetter=T probly a stoopid question but is it a good buy?

i have read a few reviews about them, they all seem positive enough but what are they like to live with every day?
i only do about 24 miles a day round trip to work so will be my daily driver, but it will also be used to drag a horse trailer around with a 16.1hh 750kg cob and a smaller 14.2 500kg cob.

most reports say the mpg is about 38-40 is this realistic? the drive to work is mainly down rural A roads and a couple of villages to pass through.

what do i need to look out for and what are running costs like?

cheers in advance :drink:

My fuel consumption figures

That is a 2.2 Dti Limited 8) pretty much all the toys (no cruise control),very nice.The B series drive very much like a car where the A series are somewhat more agricultural.As an oldie I like the more comfortable ride :wink:
Mine has had a 6 berth caravan on the back at motorway speeds (forgot it was there :wink: :lol: ),main failing is the if`y dash board so make sure there are no lights on when test driving it.

EDIT : :ggod post: Dan,wise words there bud :ggod post:
