Royal Mail ones don't have a lot of mileage but apparently they can do up to 1000 gear changes per day. | |

We had one at my old job, it was an ex-Royal Mail 1.7 Di. I thought it was quite quick, but then again I'm used to the 12v :lol: | |

My mate has the 1.3 CDTi and is pretty impressed with it overall considering engine size etc. Certainly isn't a slouch :thumbs: | |

I have a 1.7cdti bigger turbo model (red TI on the badge), its like shit off a shovel and the mpg is very good. | |

thats awesome, cheers mate. i will obviously have a drive of all of them but i was swaying towards the 1.3 because i have heard 60mpg is achievable? | |

going to have a look and drive of a few corsa c (combo) vans tomorow, of various ages and engines and i dont really know much about the engines. 2 are 1.7di and 1 is a 1.3cdti. now in my head i seem to remember that the vauxhall 1.7 diesel can chew through fuel pumps,would this be right? and i have heard the 1.3 tends to blow turbo's? or is this all a load of pub talk bullsh*t? |
