I know its a Pug and not a Ford.....Sorry!

I have bought this 306 diesel turbo. It is to get me to work and back cheaply but I found something out about these cars.....You can up the boost manually! So I have turned the max fuel screw round and turned the screw in the turbo.....It has gone from 12 psi to 17psi which gives her a nice pull......Only thing is on boost she gives out heaps of black smoke now, would this be due to the max fuel screw being wound round to much?!

Is it the 1.9 D Turbo I guess, these are easier to tune than the HDi.

You can run them on veggie fat if you change the fuel pump.

I think thats a good price with that millage, considering i've seen them with mega millage go for more than that, i've been looking at these myself as my St24 is a bit heavy on the juice

they do smoke alot when you up the fuel , i used to love mine was a great car but i saw the light and brought a ford lol

Thats sounds a good buy to me. Great to use everyday I get 55 to 58 mpg, over 600 mile to a tank is possible if youre light footed.

The tax is not cheap compared to modern diesels though, £215 for a year.

Did you buy it?
