Couldn't comment on reliability but the 1.4 turbo diesels are surprisingly good engines to drive. My sister has a 207 with one and apart from it feeling like a bigger car than it is (feels bigger than the 307 SW my dad used to have) the engine was quite torquey, surprisingly so even at low rpm ans uphill. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Not in any rush there though, as i dont want to spend too much...so if it turns up it turns up! Just got some PE2's on some clones ready to go on the 6 but its p**sed it down with rain for 24hours here so not had a chance to try them out yet! Have heard that the 1.4 does have the MA gearboxes which are a weak point. Apparantly the 1.4s have intercoolers though which the 2.0 doesnt which is a plus point with regards to possible remapping. If i generally look towards getting the most bang for buck (ie. the most mpg/use for as little outlay as possible) then the 1.4hdi would win Thanks for opinions so far Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to be under the impression (even tho u hate them) the Xsara 110's I.e. vtr trim etc had a intercooler???!!!!?? ________________________________________ '97 PH1 'Sigma Blue' 306 GTI 6 project 'Tooters'194.2bhp 127.6 dB '96 PH1 'Black Noir' 306 DTurbo (project in permenant storage) '94 300tdi LR Discovery (project gone dead and buried) '99 td5 LR Discovery 2 (trailer tug and family bus) project 'in the garage getting chassis welded' (again) The 6 can go fast, the disco can go anywhere Built: 9 January 1997 - that's a Thursday Skip Brown cars: tarporley Cheshire Tel: 01829 720492 add me --> philbrindley85@hotmail.com TEAM: Snapper |

2.0ltrs over 1.4's any day... How small is your budget that you're thinking of? ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

Not sure on that one Phil.Rich, not much around a grand. My bro is more determined to go diesel in the new year and has probably a bit bigger budget than I do. I'm just of the mindset that if a good one comes along at the right price then great. If not then no worries as I still have a perfectly reliable car atm  (jinxed it now haven't i)  ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!''

Well you'll easily be able to pick up another 306/Xsara with that money. You probably have jinxed it now lol yes...

Yeah I think they do. Also, Autotrader's figures seem to suggest it's marginally better on fuel than the 90 HP version too. Win/win scenario. Down to the better torque I assume... |
