opportunity to use the rev-band .With the fuss about DPFs, and the general advice that they are best cared -for by a regular use at high revs ( on motorway or similar) I'd have real doubts about buying a diesel on the island, as they have virtually nowhere to give the DPF that use. I wonder how -

I am trying to find a reliable diesel engined car of the most recent registration that does not have a DPF. I have read extensively throughout many forums that the VAG 1.9PD engine (particularly the 130HP version) was the best in terms of frugality and reliability. I know this engine -
