How do the majority live with this problem when the majority probably do more short journeys than long ones? do they all buy petrol vehicles? not from what i see on the roads. so come on how do you avoid the problem? i need to buy a new car and quite frankly it seems a minefield of expensive faults waiting to happen. i drive journeys mostly under half hour with maybe a blast down the M5 for 20 min now and again plus the odd hour motorway run. i think this must tally with hundreds of others who still drive a diesel cars. so once again how do you do it
