if you can stretch to it i'd think of going the 200tdi route , massive difference and not that difficult to fit .... i'v never fitted one in a series but thats what i'd be doing ....

I've got a 109, with a 2.5 n/a fitted (with overdrive), drives great! Cruises at 50-60 on motorways and returns 23/24mpg.

Though if you can get a 200tdi or Izusu 2.8, I sure it'll fly.

I think you personally would be better off with one of these;
