i live in London, but i do drive to Spain and spend some time there every year, so a diesel wouldn't be a problem, but I don't want to take the chance that the mayor might ban euro 6 diesels. i had to get rid of my D5 because of ULES. since then i had a V8 and now a 3.2, i have grown to like the petrol cars thy are so quiet. i'm thinking after the information gained from this thread, I've narrowed it down to the T5 and B5P. Also not having to pay 690.00 road tax or the amount of fuel the 3.2 likes. Ian
