1996 - 1992 309 grdt . sold it cos i fancied an mi16
1998 - 1989 405 mi16 . loved that car but my dozy bint of a neighbour ( not you neil lol ) reversed into it and caused £600 worth of damage when it was only worth £750 so it was written off and i bought it back :cheesy:
1999 - 1989 205 GTI and dropped the mi16 engine into it , very very fast :cheesy: but had to sell it when i got laid off :cry:
2000 - 1993 405 stdt , my fathers old car had it when he bought his 406 ,lasted untill some muppet wrote it off when it was parked up
2002 - 1995 405 executive 2.0 . petrol engine went bang so i put the 1.9 td in there , that lasted untill i jet washed the engine and fooked most of the wiring up
2005 - 1997 406 executive 2.1td estate,my fathers car, so far 199k on the clock and its still the most comfy car i owned ( i am thinking about getting another 205 MI16 :cheesy: )

very easy to do to be honest , the only extra wires i needed was for the stop solenoid cos i used the wire loom from the petrol for the temp sensors and oil pressure, i only done it cos i couldnt afford a 2.0 l engine and i had a spare turbo diesel laying around lol
