Wheres dervy when i need some support :) :) :)
the 2.5 DI lump is actually a not bad lump in its later incarnations(new transits) plenty of torque and with the right gearing should be able to get it to cruise quite happily at 85-90 on 3000 rpm :) bearing in mind that soon i'll be doing around 600 miles minimum a week hence need for muchos economy
oh and remember once the fittings are laid down for the Di lump just think about the box used :) mt75 just think what other ford engines can be fitted with little or no difficulty :) once the weekly miles drop below 200 :) lol
but its going to be 600 miles of motorway week in week out so need economy and an engine thats as simple as a lego set :)
its either that or a vaux 16v lump :)
and remember bmw didnt make derv powered E30's so its also got the benefit of being the one off different car that i usualy strive for
Rob finally turned off the html :)
