Just a quick note to say hello, just bought a 406 turbo diesel estate, 98 on an R plate, with the intention of doing a bit of continental touring this summer, it needs a little bit of fettling here and there, I've already used some info I picked up on this site I so thought I'd be polite and say hello and thanks.
This is my first ever diesel so it's a new learning curve for me, I've found a relaxed driving style is best and must admit I don't think I've ever driven so steadily still my wife likes it and it's bound to be better for my wallet and licence.

Re: Morning all..
Welcome in mate, you didn't say which engine you have, my 1.9td is never going to win at santa pod, in fact pushing her hard from standing only really achieves lower MPG's !!!!
But having said that she'll cruise happily all day at a decent speed and the fuel gauge likes that kind of driving a lot better as well.
You've picked an ideal car for touring
