I am buying a second hand seven-seater and wondering which is a better buy - petrol or diesel. It will mostly be used for city driving, probably less than 10,000 miles a year. I will only be spending €4,000 - €6,000 on a car. The choice seems to be a petrol car with low mileage or a diesel with high mileage.

My 2001 BMW 525i is overheating slightly lately (needle goes to 3/4). Especially when I go down steep slants. Then moves back again after a few minutes. The fan has been replaced, two years ago. Any ideas?

Thanks

I am thinking about buying a new car, and I can't decide between diesel or petrol. I only do urban driving, about 1,500km per year. Taking into account the road tax, which would be the most economical for me?
