Hi and welcome, if it's a 1.9 then it's a D8 as the D9's are HDi's

You're in for some fun :cheesy:

Trip computer installation (don't attempt unless you're handy with electrics) may be impossible if you've not got a Bosch ECU (I suspect the diseasels may use Siemens instead) and the cruise control retro-fit is dependent on you having a compatible throttle body and the will to splash a fair amount of cash

All good fun though 8)
