I take it the gearing was raised a fair amount as well??, otherwise I dread to think of the revs it must have been pulling in 4th

I'd have to go the Italian way as well, although it did get killed, it was by thieving gits, not me :evil:
It was a Fiat Mirafiorri (think thats how to spell it?) 4 door saloon. I used to potter around Glasgow in it and it ran like a bag of nails, then I'd get it out on the open roads and hammer it, and it jumped up and went like brown stuff off a shiney digging implement!!
It LOVED to be thrashed, and hated normal speeds!!
Red Defender:
my mk 1 fiesta - often drove across muddy fields and waded flooded roads and even when i fell asleep and drove into some one and totaled it, it still got me the 200 miles home.
i also had a renault 9 diesel, i did over 200,000 miles on that recon engine and its still going now according to the guy that bought it - i had it all through my student days and a couple of years of work and i really did abuse it more than my 90 and yet it broke down way less !!

I can't remember what the gearing was :roll: It had standard 2.8 brooklands rear axle, but it was a 5 speed box so dropped the revs a bit :lol: but it was in the red screaming like a goodun :lol: :lol: :lol:
