Diesel engines

[kie4]

Hi happy new year .
How common are they over there? reading through the forum seems like a lot of v8s.
In uk not many landrovers are petrol, probably because it costs £70 to fill the tank( approx $160 au.) how much is diesel per ltr in WA ?
how much is insurance/tax ? for a discovery 1 200tdi
cheers

There are plenty of v8 discos about, and the majority of discos for sale are V8's because teh diesel owners seem to hang on to theirs. There are quite a few about.

As for priced, diesel is just a little more expensive than diesel at the moment. 5 + cents a litre more approximateley. I think it was about $1.20 the other day. I tend not to pay too much attention because I don't have an oiler myself.

G'day Kie4,

Happy New Year to you as well.

Phoenix was right as there are quite a few diesels around but from what I've seen not many for sale in relation to the V8's.

I live in NSW and diesel fuel is more expensive than petrol sometimes up to 10c a litre more, I think at my last fill I paid $1.24.9c per litre (Sydney) but it was up to $1.34 in the Snowy Mountains(NSW). I don't know what the price is in WA.

My insurance is $780.00 (Aud) per year, full comprehensive for $34,300 cover and my registration total was $640.00 (Aud)

I have a TD5 auto, love it and will keep it for many years.

Cheers,

JackH
