Re: Need abit of info please guysIf your looking for good MPG don't discount the 2.2 DTi. I think I get over 35 MPG.

Re: Need abit of info please guysTransglobe is just trim level, slightly higher than standard. 2.5 is verry loud, sounds like tractor lol
Well, maybe not here - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hQvTlfmoE4g As you know petrol engines and 25-30mpg on motorway isnt that bad for 2 ton truck I would go for it.. On 2.5tds you should get around 30mpg too? But remember that diesel is slightly more expensive too
Re: Need abit of info please guysThanks again Paul
But now Huwwalford says you can get the 2.2 DTi Looks like i will be on the hunt for a 2.2 16v unless someone says the 2,2 dti is super cool and never brakes down and will do 37mpg Rolling in my TANK

Re: Need abit of info please guys
Sorry.....I didn't realise you had discounted the 'B' series Have you tried Autotrader, it allows you to narrow down your search options..... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/ Huw. Last edited by Huwwalford on Sun Mar 09, 2008 10:40 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Need abit of info please guysI've got exactly the same car but its a 98 S reg,dont get 40 mpg though!!! get about 25 usually but its great,plenty of power etc,and not bad on insurance.Think it must be one of he last A series
Re: Need abit of info please guysTransglobe was a Limited Edition in 1998 celebrating the then fastest circumnavigation of the world in a 4x4 vehicle.
Available as either 2.2i 16v petrol Sport only) or 2.5TDS (Sport and Estate) both with the facelift dash Optional twin airbags, leather (Estate only), aircon (standard on Estate), ABS and fog lights. Fuel consumption (Urban/Extra Urban/Combined): Transglobe Sport 2.0i - 18.2/29.5/23.9mpg Transglobe Estate 2.2i 16v - 18.8/30.1/24.8mpg Transglobe Estate 2.5TDS - 20.3/30.7/25.9 Above information taken from the 1998 Transglobe Special Edition brochure Lawrence
Re: Need abit of info please guysA series mk1 from 91' to early 95' with leaf sprung rear end. 2.0 and 2.4 Petrol available and 2.3 diesel.
A series mk2 from 95' to 98' with coil sprung rear end and new engines in both petrol and diesel. 2.0 and 2.2 Petrol available and 2.5TDI and 2.8TDI Diesel. 2.8 only ran from 95 to 96 I think. B series from 98' to 04' with new shape (still easily recognisable as a fronty though) with more rounded body. Addition of a 3.2 V6 Petrol. Diesel options are 2.2TDI only I think. Both are very capable vehicles and quite reliable if maintained properly. A series is easier to maintain due to less electronic gadgetry. Im sure people will fill in the bits Iv missed.
