Price of car too high?Will it run on unleaded?

I do mean a 'true chav'.

Well then you are one of the few people in recent months, on any board to actually use the word correctly, and for my assumption I apologise.

Mason (rmason@plusdotnet) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Exactly.

Peter? Or me?

I presume you mean Peter - but you've replied to the wrong post.

If me, you've misunderstood my posts, and you're also wrong - I've had one for the last 40k miles.

Peter.

Yup :o)

I learnt to drive in a Diesel, but it wasn't Turbo.

I haven't been in a taxi in this country, and when I have been in Taxi's I didn't pay much attention to the engine. Maybe buses are Turbo's, but I was thinking about cars (or similar eg. SUV's) really.

Yeah. They're starting to do some nice modern ones without Turbo's though, eg. Yaris' 1.4D, Punto/Corsa 1.3, etc. I think they'll become less common on Diesels.

No need - they can afford the sticker and that's good enough.

Really? EVER? Not once?

You're funny.

Hey, look, would that be Peter talking _utter_ bollocks again?

(Peter, tell me where you heard about these mythical new engines - a link will do...)

I haven't been in one for twenty years. I had a go in one in Ireland ten years ago - scared me witless.

TBF, small diseasel hatches often haven't been turbo'd - and the Yaris D4-D still doesn't seem to be - but more and more tiddlers are TD rather than just D. Is there such a thing as a non-turbo common rail diseasel?

We'll completely ignore the fact that all the current diseasel Punto and Corsa lumps are turbo'd...

Diseasels are getting far smaller capacity - for example, PSA now do a 1.6

That ain't happenin' on atmo aspiration...

Got an URL? Or are you making the same mistake as Peter? :-)

(hint -

Are the VW SDs that? (or are they a slightly different technology?)

cheers, clive

Oh, I thought that all of these new small Deisels were all non Turbo for some reason. I think the Yaris is non-Turbo, and I think the smart forfour and Mitsubushi Colt maybe non-Turbo too, but I'm not certain. I've gotta go now anyway.

Few turbo cars are badged "Turbo" these days. It just attracts the wrong kind of attention.

Fukkoff...

Yeh, looked at that (that webshite is terrible to actually try to find anything on) - the PDF "tech spec" for the Yaris doesn't mention a turbo, and 55bhp from a modern 1.4 diesel isn't really TD territory, although the torque does imply it might be. Google was inconclusive, too.

Don't think so. Google suggests they're DI, but don't think they're common rail.

(petermcmillan snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I thought it was rather easy - I clicked on 'yaris', then 'engines', then saw the bit saying 'The highly efficient 1.4 litre D-4D engine incorporates a variable nozzle turbocharger' :-)

The new smart engines appear to have turbos, although I couldn't find anything on the manufacturer's site, and the colt appears to be the same engine.

cheers, clive

Hmmm. That isn't an overwhelming reason to want to own one....

"Multijet"? Is that market speak for "We know all[1] diesels have one injector per cylinder but we're going to make out like it's a big thing"?
