Sam's your man.

It seems the 1.8 is a better, stronger engine than the 2.0 lump.

they don't seem to bad for going wrong.

Strangely..its been behaving itself..it must know its go'ing

The 406 has been the most reliable modern-ish car I have had. The Ford diesel uses a similar engine but its not the same and not as good. PSA without doubt make the best diesels especially the early Hdi 8 valve.

Don't make any rash decisions. I'll tell you all about the 1.8TDCi later!

Does the focusses equipped with the dv6 engine give as much trouble as the pugs with the same engine.

If that's the 1.6 there are 300+ posts about it on Honest John.

An old mk4 golf 1.9 TDI is hard to beat if your just looking something reliable to get from A to B
