essentially smudge i wanted to stick to a diesel, and other than transit engines or something poor out of a scorpio i decided i wanted something german and 6 cylinder, and a week later along came a 325tds at a price i couldnt refuse, considering it was only 100 quid more than the standard engine for my car anyway! the engine turns out is a minter, with a manual box and only 115k miles from new, and was literally 5 miles down the road from where i live, should be 180bhp roughly when done and around 240ftlb of tourque
