Try and get the 1.5TD with the Izuzu engine, you can't run them done, and get good MPG of you dont drive them hard! When you drive them in the turbo range they can be quite nippy!

mine was a 1.5 td but now has the 1.7 td izuzu engine in it and now it goes well and its good on juice . i reckon the standard 1.5 diesel engine will be quite bullet proof like
