PLEASE HELP. Diesel or Petrol
Eeyore:
Having just spent a minor fortune on a 270bhp v8 for the Disco/future project I'd better say petrol.....
........but for general use it'd have to be diesel.
Or am I just being no help at all!
cheers
:-s

Nice, simple answer Tim 8) If I am REALLY honest I only drive my tdi (impressive as it is really) because I can't afford to keep/run a V8. If I could justify the fuel bills there would probably be offers made (and refused :lol: ) to take on a certain special motor :wink:

The slightly less simple answer is that neither is "better".. they are different, and unless you have some very specific requirements in the sort of events you are looking to do then either type will do you just fine.
Each has pros and cons no matter what the various evangelists say ;-)
Go looking for a vehicle rather than an engine, and make the decision based on what is available. You won't go far wrong with a V8 or a Tdi provided the vehicles are all in good nick and they have some service history.
If you neglect either type of engine, they will suffer and will plague you with problems.
Hope that helps..
