Lol fair enough, aint mine anyway. Whats the differences jsut being cusious and wiling to learn? Its a 1.5td in an astra saloon if that makes any sense, as far as i knew they were all the same as isuzu engines?

Yeh i think so, i meant the red TURBO on the rocker cover not diesel. Its definatly a TD i know that much! Cus the none turbos just have Diesel on the rocker iirc?

Ill have a look in a bit he only lives round the corner and i gotta go see him to drop off a FRST fuel pump, but anyway walk me through it if you dont mind? I remember you had to bleed something and i know yours does about 4mpg? or did?!

it did 10, but it was stupid modded, it will do about 40mpg with a slight mod
