So, back again... after several years without a Lightweight, I just moved house - got a bigger Garage and won the battle with the trouble and strife to get another Lightweight...
So I bought a T Reg S3 on eBay yesterday - fitted with a Ford Diesel 2.5 Banana? Engine fitted.
While it pulls well and gets it up to 50 - it sounds like a bag of nails, is ear deafening and sluggish...
My previous Lightweight was the traditional 2.25 Petrol - I remember getting it to sit at circa 70 on a long straight motorway run...
So to my question:

If I was to go Petrol - which Engine would you go too?
Seems like 2.25 Engines are fetching a small fortune today - circa £2k...
Any others that fit straight in and cheaper to attain and bolt up to the standard box?
Thanks in advance... pics attached...
