I’ve had mine less than a week and already my notion of I’ll just have for a bit to scratch the itch has gone to I think I may need one of these as part of my fleet always.

my late 2011 TDV8 4.4 still makes me smile, even with £12.50 ulez 4 or 5 times a month

5 x £12.50 is a lot less than the depreciation on a new compliant car! Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

The annual ulez cost verses the cost of a depreciating new car is an interesting one.

I fill up at Esso and get 5p off a litre using 300 nector points each time, saves me £2.50 for every 50L of fuel, so a fiver off a full tank in the L322. But the main benefit is mentally turning £1.74.9 a litre into £1.69.9 a litre which for some reason feels much cheaper… |

To be fair I'm getting average fuel consumption >30mpg from mine (Fill to the brim vs trip miles) and fuel costs are not 'that' much more than my previous car which was a 3.0V6 TDI Audi A6 Allroad. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

My SC just emptied it’s tank in 300 miles after treating it very gently after the engine rebuild

First month of the 2nd year of ownership and just had the following done; front upper and lower suspension arms, rear toes arms, Hunter 4 wheel alignment, new front belt and tensioner, gearbox service and software upgrade and front disks and pads. It now feels like a new car and I have no major jobs on the to-do list

Just doing all my suspension JayGee. Finished the front and now doing the back. While everything is apart I can get to the rusty subframe. Can't believe how thick the rust and scale is!!
