Good points Andy 
I wait to give it beef, but my logic for my 'fast' use of first gear is that I'm not on a boost controller yet, so the BMV should save my differential bearings
The diesel is being taken off the road as of the 25th May, the water leak from the cracked head is getting sorted amongst other things.
I've been plodding round in this all morning doing errands in slow traffic, and to be honest I don't care if it only does 25mpg, it's damn good to drive, has a nice roomy cabin and I have no idea why I sold it. Think it's here to stay, IMO these are pretty under-rated.
We're not talking anything like BMW quality, but for 700 quid I like
