Many thanks for all the detailed thoughts, and well considered posts. I'm certainly leaning toward the diesel direction, and will be investigating the financial implications of trading my current car in the near future. Thanks again for the intelligence and expertise of (most of) the posts. Ed To answer Dave's question regarding travel from Sheffield to Manchester: "Do you do Woodhead or the Snake or Sparrowpit?" I've tried them all, Woodhead is too far north, so I either use the Snake or (more often) take the A6187 through Hathersage, Hope and Castleton, up through Winnats Pass, and then drop down onto the A6. Sparrowpit takes longer, but is my 'bad weather emergency' route (used last during the snow on Thursday night and Friday morning)
