As I was led to believe the engines were not vastly different, so I wouldn't call it a 'modern' engine as such, about the equivalent to a 16v HDi in fact. Hence the replacement of the 1.9 with the new 2.0 recently. Just saying, the 1.9 CDTi isn't as new as you might think.
You found the speed limiter yet?
They are exactly the same aren't they, just a different engine cover afaik? But I didnt mean 'new' as such, just more modern tech, the PD for example is over 12 years old. And I don't know about 16v HDis, cant say I know anyone thats had one even, maybe they're better than the old 8v in 306s as well....
And no I haven't found the limiter yet. It's illegal to travel above 70mph on any road in the UK.
