  • High (ish) mileage diesels - risk or bargain? 14 Aug 2011 (Forum)

    time this happened (6mths ago) the garage told me that they downloaded new software. It seemed to cure it I expect the same will happen again. Car is 18mths old, done 14k miles, and it is a worrying sign that the electronics/computers etc are not up to the job. I think the car is destined
