Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

Can we assemble a list of suitable engined vehicles? Looking for Bosch injector pumps, no Lucas, and no common rails.
Start with:
Citroen ZX Rover 25/200 Rover 45/400
anyone know about the BMW 2.5 straight-six used in the Vauxhall Omega? The Chrysler 2.2 diesel? Are they suitable? What about Rover 600, 800?

All pre- 90´s Mercs (cars and vans)..the older the better.
W115-W123-W123-W124 -W201-W126(US 300SD)
They´ll all run on 100% depending on condition and ambient temperature, some of them will need diesel or mix to start up on. ;D

Xantia 1.9td, check the pump though to make sure it's Bosch. Mine runs fine. I think the old wedge shape Rover 200/400 with the XUD all used Lucas pumps though.

I'm going to post this link again as it's the easiest way I've found. 1 tank = yes (with a fuel heater for those frosty mornings) 2 tank = yes IF you're prepared to switch back to dino diesel 5 minutes before you turn it off. No = no, definately not, never, no (we've already broken 3 of the diseasels on the NO list. clicky clicky

A friend is currently combining his Mini and Rover 115D. Hes using the metro subframe like a VTEC conversion but sticking with the standard mounts to run diesel! Can't wait to see it finished tbh!

I wanna run my 1993 106 on bio or veg, but apparently they were fitted with either/or the bosch or lucas pump, and I can't seem to find a name on the pump. I suppose I'll have another look soon.

There is no easy way of telling, but i can add my 406 2.1 12v to the NO list, as its Lucas EPIC
