It was doing maybe 20-25 odd mpg,
it now does 45mpg,with pretty much the same performance.

What a brilliant conversion, used to own a escort 1.8 TDi endurance jobbie lovely strong simple engine.... I wonder if it would fit a Viva seeing as the sump would be the same design? maybe just a rad issue as its a long block?
