I've been looking around and can't seem to find any info if anyone has built one. I've seen a few threads on people wanting to do one.
Is it a first? doubt it. But I'm planning on fitting one into the clubman.
Always been into vauxhalls and diesels, so I've got myself a Isuzu 1.7td going to be running a f20 gearbox the engine I have produced 160bhp proven. So it should be quite interesting.
So if anyone has any links or info on any other builds. Would greatly be appreciated

About 5 years ago at Newark mini show I say a mini with a Peugeot diesel lump in it, he was claiming it to be the only diesel mini

I can't personally think of a good enough reason for fitting a Diesel engine that will overcome the stench and sound of a Diesel engine

I think I saw the same one at Castle Combe a few years ago. If I remember rightly he used the peugeot engine and front subframe from a Rover Metro.

Wasn't there a daihatsu diesel doing the rounds and mags too? Or was that a 3 cylinder petrol? Cant remember!

So not many then. Lots of smoke. Loads of torque. Turbo chatter should be fun.
Planning on mocking my own subframe up but have been looking into the allspeed subframes

3 cylinder diesel i think
