Having now booked my MOT for this Saturday morning, before those wonderful changes come into effect for Diesels on May 20th. I will begin my last 13 months with my faithful old SAAB 9-5 2.2 diesel.
Current mileage 263,000, and still starts bang on the money, for the 86 mile round trip for my present gig. 12 years as my commuting car, and just one flat tyre as it's only blemish to date. Always been one of the more smokey diesel's, which the latest wim is to get removed from our highways. No way it will pass next time around.
Saved me a fortune since I gave up on the flashy sporty motor's as my commuting vehicle. Safe as houses, as the old 'Elk' test proved on those Scandinavian roads!
