I hear you but, in a few weeks agents will have more cars to look at & demos to drive, so you then have time to do your calcs and then pay a refundable deposit in April to get your new car by December.
The diesel has these two large adblue tanks in the back carrying 17 litres in addition to the 90 litre tank
Agree Dave but even going petrol over diesel and replacing the adblue tanks with, say, a 25lt extra petrol tank may not increase total range significantly as petrol engine gets the Grenadier 20% less distance over diesel. 20% x 90lt = 18lt, so 7lt in front?
I agree but that is why we now have AdBlue to have the emissions under control...and meeting standards...I am missing something.
Yes. I also stay with diesel for that and so many other reasons
agree. Range is but one factor but, the extra petrol tank would probably need to be at least +30lt to gain a material advantage re: range over 90lt diesel tank
Paris always looked dirty due to the diesel fumes tainting the white building walls.I don't make the laws and rules ... perhaps some cities will change their plans in the future, like Belgium changed the plans on nuclear energy in Belgium (due to high energy prices and Russian gas) and will lengthen the life of some nuclear plants.
Again, I don't make the laws
When we bought the defender there wasn't a petrol option. But our car is 05. People weren't having problems with diesels because there were no problems to be had. No DPF, much lower pressure direct injection so no water issue. No-one lunching all the injectors, engines etc. Injectors are pretty much lifetime of the car. If I could buy another diesel like that then decision would be made.. but times change.
And dual fuel filters as standard.
I think they said a water separator and a filter for a diesel, and two filters for the petrol. Well done ineos.
I think they said two filters for both and also a water separator for the diesel for the Australian market
2 filters for diesel, one of which includes a water separator I believe. I am not overly worried about this aspect, also not particularly concerned about AdBlue the tanks are huge. DPF has been an issue with some brands most notably Toyota but I have had a Pajero sport with DPF for the past 5 years and even with lots of short trips no issues. The B57 motor is in tons of BMWs most of which do short urban trips regularly and is not known for widespread DOF issues. These things aren’t concerning me greatly, it even has a form of catch can. The deciding factor for me was range, the diesel will go further on a tank and diesel is much safer to transport in jerry cans.
nailed it
Yep.. the diesel will definitely go a bit further. Will wait and see the realworld reports. I may change my mind.
B57 will have so many reports out there already since 2015 but they are sometimes not from knowledgeable people...
