Are there any dieselfied 4AGE engines though?! I`ve actually thought about

the 205 CTD conversion for quite a while i.e. find a CTi with a blown engine

(basically a 1.6GTi soft top) and then get a cheap intercooled 1.7TD from a

BX/405 and voila. But Nats daily mileage will be reducing in January so

it`s not as important to have a diesel any more. Of course, when I had my

205 XS (same engine as the CJ) I could average under 20mpg, so lets hope

it`s a bit better than that!!

Bloody hell, sub 20mpg from a 1.4. How did you manage that?

Against the clock, under cover of darkness and with judicious use of

heavy right foot.



Lucky it wasn`t a 2.0 Alfa 75 - they`re too fast you see.
