Tis amazin - for anyone teetering on the thought of whether to go for a tdi transplant to replace a td, let me try and persuade you...

other than being way more fun to drive,...

For the amount of diesel (mix) i used to have to put in to get 200 miles (40 litres, almost invariably exactly) i now get 300 miles.

That means my annual mileage of 18,000 miles now costs the same as 12,000 would have with the old td engine. I get 6000 miles "for free"!

Put another way, at todays fuel costs of 1.20 a litre of diesel (if i were using it neat), i would have used 3600 litres (£4320) to do what will now take me 2400 litres (£2880) which means i'll pay for the conversion - and a half- in a year!

Just thought that was interesting, and most pleasing!
 
Mine came with a free chuftee badge chucked in!

:D As a result of your post the price of used disco engines has gone up 20%:D
then that means it'll take 9 months instead of 8 to pay for!!:D

Am very pleased - the smile on me face is only a result of the better performance, the economy is just there to be used to persuade the Doris that it's a good and necessary idea (and tip the balance for anyone thinkin bout it!)
