hi jonny,

My mrs had a dci brand new on a 54 plate and covered 70k in just under 3 years with no problems at all. She bought another brand new clio campus dci in sept 07 and has covered 11k already, again touch wood, with no problems.

The mk2 dci comes with 3 power outputs 65brake, 80 and 100. The campus and the mk3 clio now have euro 4 engines , these are 68, 86 and 106. All i would check for is a comprehensive history.

The dci from my experience benefits from oil and filter changes in between services, this would be an added bonus if it's been done, apart from that it's a very reliable and nice car to drive.

cheers stu

DCi 80 for me, good MPG whilst still retaining a bit of speed, can be remapped to about 100 IIRC.

I thought the dci80 was a hard one to find

I have a dci65 for the last month 55mpg cant be beat
