X358 diesel or petrol?
22.03.2012 at 15:00:34
i would like to buy my 4th xj car. i want an x358 and as i am a 3-4000 miles a year driver i would like to know if a petrol car is better for me rather than a diesel. i know of problems with the dpf on the diesel cars and would like to know if there are additves out there that can help and if not how serious can the problem can get. i prefer petrol cars and as there are only a handful out there for 2008-09 models including supercharged ones should i wait to buy .

Hi, doing that sort of milage I would have thought petrol is the only choice, diesel hate short trips with start stop motoring, fine for motorway where the particular filter can get up to temp but not for town.
