Hello from God's country! - athingofbeauty - 12-09-2013
Hi all. Newbie here from Yorkshire. I've been looking on the forum for a while and finally joined. Thinking of buying a 306 as a daily as I prefer the old school stuff. Will no doubt need some help choosing and will also be asking a few daft questions along the way.
Cheers,
Steven

I was hoping you could tell me. Why not - they seem to go on forever and are reliable.

Cheers. I'm leaning to the 1.9 XUD as it appears simpler to work on / mend? I'm not planning on running veggie oil so thinking of a 2000 model perhaps. Does that make sense?
RE: Hello from God's country! - lolsteve - 12-09-2013
Did the XUD go on til 2000? Thought it was replaced by the HDi then. which if you just want a engine that works without fiddling I'd say go for
RE: Hello from God's country! - Toms306 - 12-09-2013
Yeah the HDi came out in '99, T reg is the crossover, some XUD, some HDi. Don't usually see XUDs later than that.
RE: Hello from God's country! - Tom - 12-09-2013
Its whether you manage to keep the xud standard, or whether you get an itch to scratch :/

welcome buddy if you're wanting to run veg oil you'll be after an older model with the bosch fuel pump not the lucas bosch are mostly found on phase 1 but even if you get a lucas its not a big deal swapping them over

Just shows how little I know. God bless the forum and all those that put useful stuff on it. I'd like a late XUD motor then so on an 'S' or 'T'. I'm doing 240m a week on A roads and a third of it on very narrow windy steep up and down B roads - some of them first gear so need to reduce my fuel bill. Not sure about veggie oil - I can't really be bothered with all that malarchy. I have a Forester at the moment and its doing 26mpg when I drive like a vicar!!!
