A little over a year and a half ago, we got rid of our eight year old 2.0 hdi Berlingo Multispace and bought a petrol engined Vauxhall Zafira (ach, spit).
The Berlingo was having probs, only forty odd thousand miles on the clock, and no one seemed to be able to offer a solution, so it had to go.
Anyway, wifey is missing her Berlingo and would like to change back. My concerns are, she doesn't do enough miles to warrant a diesel engine, Current Zafira has less than 7000 miles on it. Also, when they do go wrong, no one seems to be able to accurately diagnose the problem and it becomes a lets change this and see if it works scenario.
I liked the Berlingo and I despise the Zafira. I'd switch cars tomorrow, just wondering what others think about using a diesel on a daily basis, but at relatively low speeds and not covering many miles. Any input gratefully accepted.
