Aha, you can't :P

It's linked to how many posts you make and runs through 1.8, 2.0, Turbo, V6 etc. at 50, 250, 500 posts etc.

I don't think it's one of our best features but hey ho :|

Keep, err, posting :)

In case you're bored....the 1.6 variant did exist but was not listed for the UK (I think they would have been laughed out of the country).

The 1.6 would have been a sluggish old beast especially as many note the 1.8's slight lack of get up and go :|

The weird thing is that many large-ish saloons would use more petrol wringing the neck out of the smaller engine so not sure what the thinking was there :?

You don't need that level of detail on you tax return now, do you :?: :shock:

2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
