the 2.1 is becoming a rare animal, any particular reason not to go the HDI route? Same power but newer, better on fuel and possibly cheaper to tax/insure depending on year.
Only reason I went for a 1.9 again was the veg and it was £600 with 84,000 on the clock and loads of service history otherwise I would have held out for a 2 litre 110 or even a 2.2 and gone for the super tractor treatment.

The 2.1 won't run on veg as standard, you'd need to swap the fuel pump.

The major problem won't be modifying it for veg but finding a decent one in the first place.
