As much as i love my old bus I really want a turbodiesel...

I keep trying to deny it to myself

For the fuel economy, yes, same here

Possible that the 1.6 is a little bit like a one legged whippet too I suspect?

Mines a diesel runs on 100% veg oil.. turn up the fuel and boost very nice..

this is a good thread. i posted something similar last week and ended up with the car a week later. by that standard you should have your new td this time next week

Turbo d cavs are getting hard to find now, people are realising how good they are and hanging on to them. Might be looking for another one myself soon.

As a 1.6 driver I can honestly say that the 1.6 Petrol is a lot more lively than a standard 1.7TD...

Fuel economy on my carb 1.6 is pretty sweet as well, not a huge amount in it when you get down to it.

my mother had a 1.7TD lump in a mk3 astra, can't say it was particularly quick but then i wasn't really taking much notice, i presume it's the same lump used in the cavaliers?

you had a choice of two, all the higher spec astra mk3's and sports had the isuzu lump, the merits and ls's tended to have a vauxhall low blow diesel which wasn't much cop really - isuzu everytime!!

Isuzu? Bet it was poorly if so

LOVE my Turbo D. He is slow round the town, but out on the motorway, he is away in the fast lane like no other old car I have ever owned.
