.....

When the migs go it'll be something cheap and cheerful, a low maint 4 pot fwd diesel, preferably non commonrail and non turbo so I can whack aload of wvo in, automatic aswell, it's got to be automatic.

I have a cheapo £400 Astra Td off eBay that I use from day to day, so I suppose that you could say I have the best of both worlds. Apart from it being a FWD 'shit box'  ;D it has 3 pedals ......  you do eventually get used the extra pedal though.

Very interesting reading this thread,as this has also steered me into thinking if my timing belt is correct aswell,as i am currently getting 18 mpg :-/.Admitting i am always driving around with the fuel light on,still reckon i should be doing better.Would really like to sort it,as its actually forced me to put it up for sale. :'(

Yeah, just don't do what I did when swapping between manual and automatic - brake with your left foot and nearly put yourself through the windscreen! What a gimp I am! ::)

I do drive my auto Omega with two feet  ;) as I do with SWMO's Smart. Plenty of practice though.  ;)

25 mpg from your 3.2? I'm assuiming it's an auto? That's bloody good! I only manage 20 ish but then most of my journeys are short. I got 35 on my last long run  at 75-80

My 3.2 returns about 23ish, and that includes a bit of everything! Never ever seen 35 though, have seen about 32 at best driving very carefully on a motorway  ::) ::)
