Fuel consumption
« on: October 14, 2005, 21:34:55 »
Through a friend of a friend I've been offered a 'tidy' (their description not mine, as I haven't been to look at it yet) E-plate with a 2.8 turbo diesel engine with intercooler (even more vague as my mate didn't ask the source of the engine ).

What sort of fuel consumption would I be looking at with this type of engine - a rough idea is enough, as I only want to be able to decide whether to bother looking!

BTW - plenty of MoT, some tax, £650

Cheers.

That's depressing - I'll have to go and have a look now! :D

Can you fit an overdrive to that age gearbox?  (LT77 would it be?)

Yes you can, you can put the GKN overdrive on it.

Will cost you around 1000 quid though ;-)

won't be doing that then!

It's that empty space on the drive Tim - it just doesn't look right!

Thought it might be a viable replacement for the van.
