Went to have a look at a 2002 FORD GALAXY GHIA TDI AUTO 83K miles today selling for a bargain

I have a 2001 1.9 tdi. I have 163,000 miles on it. It's a good engine, runs well, don't use much oil, economy is good, and i use mine for work and run up and down the motorway every day. It's had loads of servicing four cambelts and around

Sorry. If it had half the mileage I might be interested.

How many mpg's do you get approx.

I've got a 2.8 Pajero LWB at the moment. Lovely car to drive but it doesn't half drink the juice.

I'm keeping it for a few more weeks yet mate... To be honest i go by how much from full to orange light coming on. I once had 600 miles from the diesel coming out of the cap to orange light. That was testing it out at no more that 70-75 mph motorway milage mostly. On average with the trips i do i get about 550 to the orange light. Pushing it probably 525 ish. I think thats good and it will be loads more than what you are doing now. Mines a 115.

My 2.8 Pajero gets less than 20 round town and about 25 on a long run :16:

I've had 4 years trouble free motoring out of it but its got to go now that Shell are making record
