i currently have a 1990 2.2 coupe that's not been used for a year.
I'm currently looking at ways to keep it in my ownership and one thing that could sway it is better mpg.
Does anyone have any info of diesel engine swaps done on these?
I'm not clued up on the relevant models codes so any simple advice would be most welcome. Maybe even a set up taken from another manufacturer?
I've tried the search but didn't find anything.
Thanks

Do a quick calculation.
Cost of fitting diesel engine = £500 (£200 engine, 300 fitting conservative estimate or just for additional bits and bobs, new clutch etc)
How much extra petrol would £500 buy at your current annual mileage?
Just a thought......
