The police car will have got death tho'
HDis are better - newer engine. But, you can turn the boost up on a DTurbo.

I wouldnt buy the police one .
They get abused all day long. Theres a 55 plate BMW police car that I had a nose round the other month, It's hanging and the guy said it's never been serviced becuase it's always on the road

d turbos arent as quick as everybody thinks, they do 0-60 in 10 or11 - considering my corsa 1.2 16 valve does it in 12.5 and its shit slow. Have heard when you turn up the boost you get a whole loada shit flying out the exhaust.
I dont think the hdi's are a newer engine cos i no a aboy has one thats a 93/94

The HDi is a newer engine, they didnt make a 306 with a HDi in till around W reg I believe, definately not in a 1993/94 car thats for sure
