You can pick up an early mk3 mondeo TDDI (115bhp), or if you're lucky a TDCI (130bhp) for that money if you don't mind high mileage. Pish easy to drive, and parts don't cost as much as VAG bits do.

Omega 2.5TD?

whats with the Golf?

nout . its fine mechanically. its just a bit juicy. and the insurance isnt low either .

Find yourself a few more £ and buy my tdci 130 2005 mondeo

Considering your requirements i would get a clio 1.5 dci £35 a year tax and 50mpg and nippy enough,

lupo tdi 130. epic fast small hatch, chippable to 150 and 180 bhp, and great on derv. can be got for peanuts. or a seat ibiza tdi or arosa. for cheap boosty fun, try a 205 1.9 tdi, and up the boost and fuel. should find one for £500, make sure its a tdi not a di tho.

I had a 205 1.9td for a while... my god it was hateful, proper old fashioned mechanicly controlled derv of nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, BOOOST changegear, nothing, nothing etc

lupo tdi 130

There is no such thing, Lupo's never came with the 1.9 engine, either 1.4 TDi or 1.7 SDi............

For a grand I's say 18 TD Ford or a TD Vaux, pre-common rail.
