I have always been told that cruise lowers fuel consumption, because you arent rapidly accelerating and the engine revs are controlled etc.

We are going to wait for a few months, now we arent getting the petrol, and save a little longer for the diesel. Do all the post 2000 models have the sports auto, with the triptronic option? Matt

All autos have the tiptronic, yes.[/b][/quote]

Goodo, that makes it a bit better if i have the option of driving it like a manual. Thanks, Matt

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Ok, thanks, i will tell stacey, she wants a manual, and so do i, but if the auto is better its better. If we arent taking it off road (cause the disco will do all that, and stacey wont let me take it off road) is the manual still a problem? Matt[/b][/quote]

There have been some "Problems" with clutches over here....

Mark.

I just had a look on carsales.com and most were manuals, even though there were very few diesels, mostly pertol 4cyl models. By the looks of it to get a post 2000 model Diesel auto we are looking at close to 25-30k, better start saving. Matt

I bought it about 14 months ago ops: as a going concern. Stripped the interior ... then got busy with work and house renovations :?

Needs a mechanical tidy up and a few other things done to it - nothing major though. Just lacking the time to get it done properly.
