Hi Moncman, not so much at the weekend but have been on a 80 mile trip today and yes ....as good as ever. Had a full load of 7 people last night and it was fine. I guess if I'm going to be ultra picky the D5 is a bit ...erm ... agricultural but then coming from the silky V8 it was always going to be but in it's favour it seems quite gutsy and pulls strongly even when the gearbox shifts up. Fuel economy today was overall 30.3 which was ok....ish. Still not great as I think the V8 would have given about 27 in the same conditions which is ironic as I'm sure loads of people were scared off of the V8 by fear of fuel consumption.
