Meh, 35mpg from a 1.8 compared to 45mpg from the Vec (and not forgetting diesel costs 8p more a litre) theres actually not much in it. 150 miles costs an extra fiver in the 1.8, and that's about a fortnights worth...
Plus this cost £625 (plus £20 delivery) with 106k miles, 9 months MOT and 6 months tax......find me a Y reg HDi like that for a similar price lol. Then add the price of a lift pump, clutch, MAF etc...and the stupid extra insurance for mapping a HDi to the same power as a 1.8 lol, I specifically chose the 1.8 over a diesel, it wasn't an accident.
