Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    They generally require higher revs but listen to your engine and it will tell you what is needed.

    There is really no difference now. The diesel used to be noisy, but with sound proofing, that is not a problem anymore. I used to have a diesel Jetta. There was a noisy car.
    If you were not told, you would probably not know the difference.

    I suppose the main thing to look out for is don't put diesel into your hired petrol car. Not being smart here, but if you've only ever driven diesel, force of habit might make you pull into a fuel station and automatically go to the diesel pump.

    They are the very same. You'll get a feel for it after a few minutes, just like any other new car you drive.
    Dont put petrol in the tank though when you go back to your own Diesel :D
