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.
