    Great, thanks mate... makes since and I've just dug the invoice out and it was replaced by a Diesel specialist in 2004 and probably only done a few thousand miles since then...

    Lightweight S3 with Ford Banana Diesel - which Engine would you swop too?

    Rims / Tyres for a Lightweight? As you can see from the photo I have set of Standard wheels - they are 5.5 x 16 - fitted with Tall 7.50 x 16 tyres... more suited to a 109 of LWB I think.... I want to get back to a smaller profile tyre 6.5 x 16 - and wondered if I should find some 5.0 Rims -...

    Lightweight S3 with Ford Banana Diesel - which Engine would you swop too?

    Nice... 30mpg makes sense... I'm going to order some soundproofing to shut it up! Any ideas on best soundproofing or just search on EBay? On another note it's got 1 out of 4 rear half shafts from a Civi landie... It also came with Big Tonka Toy wheels which I fitted on at the weekend -...

    Got ya - again not used to these Engines, so it's a straight Ford DI 2.5 I think mid 80's 90's....

    Ah Yes - you're right - wonder what that translates too then, another forum member said circa 70 BHP - does it convert?

    Lightweight S3 with Ford Banana Diesel - which Engine would you swop too?

    Thanks Buddy that's a great summary for the non initiated like me... I've been scouring the Interweb looking at V8 prices since posting and they seem to come at circa £500 to £700 in known running condition... would just need to find the conversion kit but warming to that idea all day long...
