Thanks mcapachey. Yeah those rims were cheap and with tyres when I first bought the car and I decided to keep them until I found a set of 11 spokes.
The 1.7TD runs great. It's very torquey and I barely use first because second gear is perfect for take offs with still great pulling. I have no complaints at all.
I had looked in to throwing the l series from the last car I broke in there but when I started looking for parts for it (head was cracked) they are like finding hen's teeth here in Malta. So I decided to scrap that idea and stick with the Isuzu. Parts are cheap and abundant so that works perfectly.
