Thanks that one would tick most of the box's of what I need. A little older than I wanted but a good price. It does look mint, might be worth a trip down south. Richard... |

Hi Cannondale - there is much debate over which is better V8 / Td6 . . . . .

I love the torque of my TD6 (non chipped) and as most of my driving is around town, makes for effortless driving. Pootle around at 30mph and give it some wellie and the torque makes it go like a rocket, amazing for a diesel / heavy car |

I do the same, next fill up I'm going to try driving a little more spirited, see if I get the same overall miles per tank...

I tow a 1600-1900kg twin axle 'van with my TD6 and haven't really seen it go above 22mpg when towing along nice a roads or mways. As soon as it gets twisty or holly that drops to more like 17mpg the main problem being that it always kicks down even on 1/2 throttle as it can feel the weight but just won't lockup fully if your below 50mph . It's a great tow car though and never really needs pushing past 2.5k revs to move along and the brakes are great though for other reasons I am thinking Of upgrading my fronts to beefier units

My TD6 averages about 24mpg with mixed driving. On a run it'll get nearer 28. It sounds like a fecking tractor, although its pretty clean behind even when I boot it. Plus its nice being able to do 500-550 miles between fill ups which you wont get with petrol/lpg.

I used to average about 15-16 round town and saw 21mpg on a long motorway trip in my old 4.4 2006 Mercedes CLS

Ok ....mis-read the title (read 4.4mpg in a V8 and thought I was doing very well in mine then )

My 4.4 petrol averaged 13.3 mpg over 57,000 miles mainly towing a 2,200kg caravan.
