"Will never own another petrol car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Dipped lamp light in dash flickers.

General comments?

The Dturbo is very economical, and often returns around 700 miles per tank (£45) if driven nicely. Fast acceleration, good brakes and gear change combined with "on rails" like handling and supportive bucket seats means lots of time spent thrashing B roads! No faults so far, and hoping it stays that way! Cheap insurance makes this car the young mans hot hatch to have!

Love my D-Turbo and agree with all your comments, apart from the 700 miles per tank. Most I've had out of mine is 630 (and on refill, I squeezed 58 litres into the 60 litre tank, so it was almost dry). The car is used for a 30 mile a day commute in fairly heavy motorway traffic, so mostly between 30 and 50 mph and "off boost" and averages about 570 before the light comes on (with about 6 litres left in the tank).

That's still 47 mpg though. 700 to the fuel light would be 58 mpg - even the normally aspirated diesels would struggle to get that. You must have a feather for a right foot.
