LGT_King Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 How much you want for it? Man, I wish those were available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 You should probably try to read the codes, but if you have had excessive slippage like driving offroad or on slippery roads it may be a temporary issue and a reset of the code may help. I suspect that the OP lives in the UK which means cars for left hand traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robitrice Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 yea idk what it is especially with america, but diesels are every where in europe. I spent three weeks in england and ireland last summer and everything is a diesel. I have heard that they run cleaner (despite the smoke) and they last FOREVER.

martinbrawn Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hi the old diesels from the 90's were rough and smokey, new generation high pressure diesels hardly smoke unless under hard acceleration and are very quiet, my legacy diesel is extremely quiet and produces 150 bhp and Subaru have restricted that, because your petrol price in that states are so cheap you've not had the need for diesels, we are paying £6 a gallon for petrol, plus my legacy will do up to 60 mpg, in Europe now I think it's 7 out of 10 cars sold is a diesel, and yes they go on forever and 200000 miles in a diesel is just run in and servicing costs are less as no spark plugs etc yea idk what it is especially with america, but diesels are every where in europe. I spent three weeks in england and ireland last summer and everything is a diesel. I have heard that they run cleaner (despite the smoke) and they last FOREVER.
