I know i should Mr D.H but can't afford it struggling to run the van as it is hence the decision to go diesel pref Tdi

If you can't afford to run it then you can't afford to TDi it, that's for sure!

Ask Jake Syncro&no101 about conversion costs......

If its purely for running costs the best way is LPG what you have, much more economical (cost wise) than diesel and cheaper to convert.

think gears will be the next thing on my shopping list , my velle looks a bit odd with massive tyres on the back ,, think its good that the mirrors folds in above 95 it reminds me to slow down lol
