Hi peoples, read many topics as a guest. now i'm registered.
A brief history:-
I have a 2.0 HDI (90) estate, had her 2 yrs now, and don't treat her the way she deserves. got her as a means of getting A-B but she has never let me down. Last MOT advisory for two tires getting low on tread. I do 250 miles per week and average 50+ mpg urban. and all this from a motor with 231000 on the clock, she also pulls my boat and trailer GVW 1300kgs
I have had the 206 1.4 HDI SW l. 405 1.9 TD which I ran on pure veg oil during the summer.
You can't beat PUGS I love 'em

We towed a broken-down 307 on a trailer back from Herts with a certain veg-oil powered 1.9TD estate.Welly wrote:Tis a brave man who toweth Boats and Trailers with a 90bhp HDi......for that reason you'll fit in here just fine
Getting it going was no problem, stopping was something else.

Hi, belated welcome from me...
I used to tow cars to the scrapyard with my 90 - it was better than my non-turbo Escort van but still a bit embarrassing on the hills ( second gear anyone...!! )
