Well just thinking ahead an im considering looking at getting a 106 1.5 for a project but with the price of fuel at the min 147 at the min for diesel, Im loving the 306 for being on pure veg and only costing 96p a liter, so im sure ive seen some one on here with a bosch on there nad.
So questions are is it just a straight swap and away you go or dose it have to be modifed to fit? if so what needs doing to make it fit?
Any thing else i need to no about fitting a pump to one?

Samass has a 306 Bosch on his that he's pikey'd on there I believe.
They come with Bosch as standard on some as mine had it and I used to run veg too. So in answer to your question, providing you get a 106 pump, it should be a straight swap. Easier to just get one with a Bosch first though.

With a lot of guess work, grinding, swearing, timing, re timing, re timing again, more swearing, more grinding, more timing, more swear, lots of tubing, and then a hole in my rad. It's a MASSIVE ballache. Just search eBay for a 106/saxo na Bosch and use that

Yer just been looking didnt realize they come with a lucus and a bosch pump, dose any one no if it was a certain year that they came with bosch (like early 306's) or was it just what ever they felt like?

Mine was a '98 R reg and had a Bosch. If you look on 106Owners there is a thread that has pics to help you tell the difference, just have to get past all the show cages and text speak

What about a bosch from a 1.8 XU NAD? runs fine on veg and possibly an easier fit than the other common bosch like sam used

I dont quite understand the whole....
"it does loads MPG so why run it on veg oil"
Have you seen the price of diesel?!
If a car does MORE MPG then its MORE worthwhile running it on alternate fuels...
If a 106 can do 60mpg...then you run it on veg...I can get it around the 70p mark...that effectively is 120mpg! win!
If a car does 10mpg....half price fuel = 20mpg...still sucks!
Used to be part of a garage fitting LPG systems...did a lot of big v8s, turbos etc obviously...but the smart ones were in cars like the 1.2 16v Honda Jazz, it was doing 68mpg...LPG being 45-50p a litre...you do the math! mega cheap motoring
What I am really curious about is what MPG a mildly tuned xud turbo would do in a featherweight 106.
If mine does 45mpg with lots on boost in my 306, heavy 5dr with eleccy stuff and big sub on the boot...surely be ace in a paper thin 106??

I agree with what you say! no matter how many mpg's you get still worth looking in to makeing it even cheaper to run all tho i pay 96p a liter for veg not 70p were you getting that from or is it waste?
And i thought that to about the xud in the 106 all though i carnt see there being a massive difference maybe 50-55mpg?

Only way you'd get get better than the TUD5 mpg would be to stick a NA XUD in there I think. Yes the DT engine wouldn't have to do much work but don't see it getting better than the NA 1.5.

when your running brand new veg oil dont have to change it as much as if you was on waste, plus fuel filters are only like £3 so not like it cost alot every 3,000 miles
