Going from a T5 to a 220cdi is a big jump...try for a 320cdi at least.

You'll get 40 plus on runs and 30 plus in town ...and 197bhp and so much torque for a bit of fun when needed.

Thanks for the reply.Yes ,it is a big jump.I must be getting older.I'm forty 0ne so maybe a reversed mid life crisis!I olso own a 1971 bedford embassy bus(very slow but so cool)umm i am seeing a pattern here.However the 320 sounds nice.What is insurance like?

Cheap for me, but then you're a youngster so it may be more expensive

It realy is a double edged sword being so young(ha ha).I'll get a quote.You are still clearly enjoying your mid life crisis!

I'm not sure if a w210 is the same as a w211 insurance wise but

my 211 320 CDi is group 17'' insurance and it isnt bad i'm 23 and I pay £1247 a year with Aviva with 4 NCD will be 5 yrs NCD in a months time!

That sounds reasonable,spose it would be alot less for me.The t5 was group19 and cost £368 per year full no claims.Goods luck with your 5yrs ncd,drive easy this month.
