We have just, in the past year, gone to petrol from two large diesel cars. I loved the MPG, but the bloody EGR, MAP, MAF, DPF, etc etc etc are a bloody nuisance.
I am mechanically minded and can clean, replace, repair most things on my car but I would not go back to a diesel, and certainly don't like the way the witch hunt club is forming regarding diesels and their polluting issues. Doh, as if this is news to us.
