diesel cars/vans under 1.6 before 2000

Fairly sure that the Combo B was only available with the 1.7NA. And I think you might struggle finding a Corsa B van with a 1.5TD, as that engine seems to have been reserved for higher-spec models.

The C15 was 1.9L only, as was the Renault Extra.

You have missed the Citroen AX from your list of sub-1.5L diesels. I'm not very good on late-90s cars, but the Mk2 Clio could be had with a 1.4L diesel, and was introduced in 1998, so you might find one in you price range. Maybe a Corsa C as well?

As small diesels hold their value well - certainly better than petrols - it might be worth looking at petrols depending on the number of miles you're planning to do. I think you might struggle to find a 1.5TD Corsa B that isn't a dog for under £500.

Finally, bear in mind that the extra tax is only £85/year - not that much in the grand scheme of things.

Van + Tip run = commercial waste at most council dumps round here. Be prepared for refusals on the gates or to have your load checked for anything that might have come from a site

Mk2 Golf GTD - 1.6TD (get the later SB engine code with the top mount intercooler) Std they are good for 75bhp and about 55mpg. Adjust the fuel, mod the pump plunger and turn up the boost - I still got 52mpg out of my old one and made about 118bhp on the rollers

dodgerover- ive only ever been turned away from the local tip twice once was because i had bought the van & wanted to empty the old owners stuff out of it builder/painter but the van was sign written so said i was trade waste & the other was clearing out a unit & took a load of paint & tyres so they said no chance. & i mean the odd tip run like when the bin is full,hedge & grass cut. thanks for your reply if a little off topic

composimmonite- been there, done that with the painted/blacked out windows not a problem with running a car as i ran a 1.1 pug 106 last year t& thats what got me thinking about diesels in the same tax bracket & running costs . also maybe a 600-800 mile weekend trip once/twice a month then it might just sit there for a month !!! i can go out & buy an astra hatchback/estate ,escort hatchback/estate & blank out the windows & call them a van & with a petrol engine i can get them allday long so wouldnt need to have put up the post ;D

polo6n1600i-golf 1.6 I'm sure is in the higher tax bracket so no real help as i could just get any diesel/petrol car or van if i was going to do that

Post's removed. Ill not bother trying to help then.
If you know what you want, go look on ebay...

Daihatsu Hijet 1.4 Diesel

bioshock -cheers not thought about one of them

PHUQ- i have a suggestion for you read the title of my post or my first post & tell me where i ask about any small petrol car or van or even any car/van over 1.6 diesel ? i am sorry for asking questions but looking at your profile i can see that unlike you i am not young enough to still know everything going off my post count of under 400 since 2006 i hardly think you can say i ask questions for the sake of it . there have been 3 posts of cars that i had not thought of which is the reason for the post unlike yours which is pretty pointless

joem83 - sorry if i offended you in anyway but as the stuff you posted up was all petrol cars i don't see how it fits in with what I'm looking for if i was looking for a petrol car under 1.6 then they would have been some good ones there but they are fairly easy to find.

i thought it was a simple question to ask as i wanted to see if there where some cars or vans id overlooked that fitted in my needs.

so thanks to the few that have READ the title you have given me some ideas to look into & the others if you order cheese on toast & get a cheese butty would you accept that

mate I'm not offended in anyway ;D i posted the question to get an answer to ' is there any others ive missed of the list' & the 3 main parts where 1) DIESEL 2) UNDER 1.6 3) MADE BEFORE 2000. think that makes it clear what i was looking for so I'm not looking for a 5.0l V8 mustang ;D . if it wasnt for wanting ALL 3 of the above i could get something off here or ebay without any problems

1549cc according to ved website.
Some curse word engines down at that level though,if you can go post 2000 then the ford/pug 1.4 tdci is a pretty good little lump and I think £30 a year tax.
Or buy a 1.4 escort petrol van and convert to diesel "forgetting" to tell the dvla?
