the old 1.8 td is by far the easiest and best option, the othe r option is to graft in a 1.8 tdci from the focus that will give you 115 bhp, and with a tuning box will get 130 bhp to, i still have rr print from my old 1dci focus, 128 bhp and 222 lb/ft
is it to much hassle to put the tdci, and does it give you better mpg than the escort or mondeo one?
