Corsa 1.5D, I paid £300 for a decent one. 56mpg. Personally I'd try and get a 1.7td engined Astra or Cavalier.

Very easily tunable, decent mpg, cheap. With a touch of tweaking you can get close to 100bhp.

But then again my 1.2 8v petrol Corsa B was pretty good on fuel.

Non Turbo is group 4, and group 5 with a Turbo. You can also get a 1.7D.
