haha, yep, those old Isuzu 1.7TD's are pretty bomb proof, my old 93L Cav TD GLS had over 200k on the clock when it finally died (I paid £46 for that off Ebay as it was advertised as needing a head gasket), and 'Mazzie' has done 156k, we bought her on 72k in Feb 2007
Prior to 'Morticia' (the Omega I had), I had a 93L Astra Convertible - which we removed the 2.0i engine and other stuff from, and converted to a 1.7TDS from an Astra Estate - it was quite a complicated conversion, as anyone who saw my build WIP on MK3OC.com will have seen, but when finished, the car owed me about £350, and it paid for itself really quickly running on veggie oil, and I had it for about 3yrs before I sold it on for £625 to buy the Omega - really miss that car, but its still going strong, the lad who bought it off me has done 45k in 18mths, and he took it to Billing again last weekend
