It'll be a 'slightly modified' 2.0 L series diesel..

In comparison my derv (engine standard except BMC CDA & decat) has been getting an average of 54mpg on my A-road blast to work.

Even managed to get 58.9 on my run to Chester and back at the weekend!

637miles to £60 of diesel can't be bad!!

Driving a 1.8 hatch and insurance was just as cheap as my 1.4 ZR and its such an improvement.

Im with Chris Knott insurance. All mods declared and parked on a public roads. There might be a mileage limit, not sure though.

Will be even cheaper when I add motorbike and house insurance!
