    Seroiusly Petstalk, one thread with your budget, requirements and typical driving pattern. Six threads asking about different aspects of the same problem doesn't help you, and will irritate everyone here.

    Thank you Retro.
    I am asking the individual questions on motoring topics to get people's opinions.

    I think it would be better for the forum and easier if you asked all the questions in one thread like everyone else does.

    I just was just thinking better to keep individual topics separately.

    The old ones (pre-2000) are generally ok. The new ones you will likely more than spend on repairs any saving you might make on fuel. They have become too complex and too sensitive to dodgy fuel.
