More hypothetical at the moment, but temptatation is there.
I have a 4x4 climbing 1.2 petrol. It's for sale but I don't want to sell it. The only reason I have it for sale is because it's not as frugal as I'd like it to be. 38.7 mpg average.
To gas convert it I'm looking at £1300+ vat.
BUT, I could buy a 1.3 Panda diesel engine for less than that and bring the consumption up to around 50mpg (I don't drive hard and it's mostly motorway).
So, considering the 4x4 is available in europe in diesel form, how big job would it be to take my petrol engine out and put the diesel in.
Anyone with the technical knowhow to give an idea potential problems. All I can think of is rhd blocking something.
I have a diesel Alfa 156 that's doing over 50mpg but I love the Panda much more as it just does everything I want it to.
Any thoughts.
