not a lot of difference in economy between 2.25 petrols and diesels... but as you say diesels are a little more H2O tolerant.
clbarclay:
But the diesels arn't particuarly MOT tolerant, some of the series we used to have at home seemed to lose the oil out of the air filter when it came to MOT day :lol: .
Normal cars off road is not in the least bit mad. Its just darn good fun :D :D :D
Mind you, I was brought up on a diet of old MOT failures, set-aside feilds and farm tracks.

2.25 Petrol would get you around 15mpg in town. The 2.25 Diesel would probably see about 23mpg around town. On a run, expect 20ish from the petrol, while 27ish from the diesel.
The 2.25 Diesel is very noisey, but a lot is down to little sound proofing in the cab so the sound bounces around. It is possible to put up with the noise, but it is also recommended to wear some form of ear protection for the very long journies (e.g. 100 mile run), unless you like having ringing ears afterwards. :lol:

ive been out in my brothers wreck lol
i will definatly be putting sound proofing in and lots of it
Miniman:
I totaly disagree with you about the diesel and fuel consumption. If set up right they are very good on fuel and you have no chance with the petrol they just drink fuel for fun......
