"I'm changing my car in September and I'm looking something bigger than what I have at the moment which is a Renault capture I was wondering does anyone own a kadjar diesel and what roughly is your mpg and what do you think about it?pete" Shouldn't be too hard on diesel, the kadjar is basically a duster but better dressed, my ex had one, it was the family car and with 40L she would do Dublin and Mullingar the whole week plus some more miles around town at the weekend | |||

"To be honest I dunno bog my car NCT is expected in September so I am planning to put it through and then get with a year's NCT for the trade in!" Sorry for cutting in OP. If you live in the North, when did ye start going the NCT? If your able to save money, by buying in the UK Directly. Do that, whatever make or model you buy. You must be light high tower in that thing.
Personally I know feck all about SUV's,you need something bigger than you have already like a (Kapugar). Leg room for the driver & back seat passenger is important to look at, when buying a yoke. What about the RAV 4? They look bigger anyway's, the downside to them is there petrol Hybrid.
Personally I don't believe the amount of mileage a person is driving has anything got to do with driving diesel cars now a day's. Compared to, what was like in the past. With the price of fuel & mileage out of the tank, should be part of the reasons, why you buy a certain yoke.
Each to they're own.
Good luck with it anyway's. | |||

"No facts but speaking to a family friend last weekend who mentioned he had borrowed his sisters Skoda Kodiak jeep for a few weeks. He said fantastic to drive and would run on just a whiff of diesel. Investigate further yourself "Ya, they look something alright or seat, have a few SUV model's. They'll be up there with the Skoda aswell. I know some people wouldn't recommend this, you can it a yoke remapped, it'll give you more BHP, also make it better on fuel aswell. Personally I haven't done it. I have heard of other's doing it & swears by it. | |||

"Hi I used NCT as a point of reference so everyone understood what I was doing of course I am getting an MOT!the rav 4 is a beautiful car but 45 miles to the gallon no way!I am hoping when I come to change my next car the hybrids, electric and hopefully hydrogen cars will have alot better range and rapid charge or self charging!" O right, ya,that's understandable alright.
Is that all? I'll be keeping away from them meself, for another while yet. They're self charge hybrid. Ya,that's true alright. The sooner them thing's happen, the better, if there serious about electric vehicles. | |||

"Stay clear of Renault and Peugeot 2 of the worst put together vehicles even worse than land rover and that's saying something lol " Totally agree with you about the Peugeot but I have had two Renault cars now and no problems with them infact if I didn't have the money to spare and want something bigger I'm sure my Renault capture diesel could easily do another hundred thousand miles!?? | |||

"That's hopeful I have a capture diesel and it does good but I have dropped from sixty miles to the gallon to fifty three! lmao too much going hard on the motorways!poor engine is fucked lmao " The opposite is more likely the case tbh. Your engine's DPF relies on heat to keep it functioning properly, and if you don't do enough of those hard miles to crank up the engine temperature it'll start to clog up, causing a gradual worsening in performance and potentially leading to premature end of life issues for the engine. Most diesel engines these days just aren't getting enough of the hard miles to keep them functioning properly. Your annual mileage would be at or just below what would usually be described as the threshold for switching between petrol and diesel. Short gentle journeys kill diesel engines. | |||

"How about a Nissan Qashqai? Bit bigger and basically the same running gear." Absolutely I drove a hire car in march it was a brand new empower so comfy and loads of safety features!I would look at it again and see how the boot space differs but yes the top of the range older qashqai would be something to look at! | |||
