Default Quick Non ford question

Gents,

Wondering if anyone can help, looking at buying the missus a cheap reliable run about for her work runs, she fancies a corsa of all cars, and wants a diesel, i know that they fitted the 1.7 isuzu engines to the cav's and the astra's but did they do a 1.5 isuzu in the corsa's as i'd be looking out for one of them over the Gm blocks.

Cheers!!

yes, the 1.5 is an isuzu engine.

not much really to look out for though, they're pretty good! i've seen a few leaking/cracked heads in my time, but as long as it's not losing water, you should be fine
