Buy the right Golf and you'd be sorted. That, or a Rover 45/25 diesel - they can be mapped too (same engine as the MG jobs, just different ECU).

There really is a lot of boring cars that are diesel, manual, and under a grand

. In addition to the already suggested, Saab 9-3 & 9-5 and perhaps a Pug 306 (I liked the 306 diesel I once had

).

anything vag
but under a grand for sonething half decent will probably be a struggle

Mk1 Leon tdi 110.

Can map it up via blacksmoke.co.uk to ~140BHP/210 lbs/ft

Under £70 for ~30hp gain

I've done the self same thing

A dozen tanks' worth of 99 for the 'Lude?

Cocaine?

Anything but a cancer engine...

running 2 cars is probably more expensive

2 lots of tax, insurance, tyres, mot's, repairs

your better off without one imo
