cortina/granada estate, not sure if they did a diesel version, but a type 9 will match to nearly any ford engine so wont be too hard to get a 1.8 fester td engine into one

I was going to say Granada! Or there's the Vauxhall Carlton and Senator? |

The Granada came with a 2.3 diesel.
Senator/carlton is good too.

Mercedes W123 estate would be cool, and they came in diesel flavour as well.
The other day a later Merc estate (a 300TD) passed me and it sounded most undiesel-like, more like a meaty petrol engine. The car was an '89 model, so does that make it a W124?
Anyway, I believe it's got a 5-cylinder lump in it. As for the Granada estate, the later 2.5TD motor should drop straight in, and that should be pretty lively. I drove a Scorpio TD a while back and was surprised at the performance.

Most Merc 300TDs should have self levelling suspension in the back, handy for towing . Keep away from the Scorpio turbodiesels, an absolute nightmare of an engine to work on.

Peugeot 505 turbo diesel estate Pug 505 estates are great cars, but aren't they also still highly prized by car thieves (& shipped out to Africa)? Less than 10 years ago, a neighbour of my dad's had two 505s stolen in less than a year....  |
