You are allowed 2500litres a year before paying duty :P, not all diesels like it. 100% will kill it in the long run but I dont plan on having it for years anyway :lol:

One plus side is it fooking stinks if your following, and thus you dont get tailgaters even though your going slow.

I have a 1.5 non turbo, cost me £200 with full mot ect. Im running it 100% on cooking oil and have been for 4 months now. Cost about £20 a month to run and thats 1000 miles. It smokes like a twat, makes 30bhp at the flywheel an tops out at 70mph but it gets to me to work an back evryday without fail. An when it blows up I'll get a real car lol.

Get the TD, the 1.7D is slow as fook.

If you want a late one, keep you eyes out for a Post 97 SXi, GLS or CDX - they all come in the 1.5 variant (tellable by having TD on the back, not D), but are quite rare.

Get the TD, wind the boost up and intercool it :cool:

have never really had any experience of corsa diesels, dont know if theres many on here but i figured this is the place to ask.

im wondering what type to buy, 1.5td or 1.7?
mpg
reliabilty
parts prices etc

good buy or not?? id be looking for a late as poss example with as little miles as possible:thumbs:
