Xantia........2.1td or HDI
Will probably eventually replace Xantia with the same in a couple of years.....Is the 2.1 td much better than the 1.9 or should I try a HDI, After looking at Jon's posts I am starting to wonder. Never got to try a 2.1 when I was on the spanners.

Just replied to Jon's (telling him to hang in there!)
Got a 1.9 TD zx and a 2.0 HDi (90) Xantia
NO contest, even before chipping (and even now because i havent wound the chip up its only at 15% gain) the HDi is faster, more responsive and a helluva lot more fun to drive.
Fuel economy is around 48 mpg dropping to 39 when towing. I did think about the LPG conversion for DERV cars some places were offering, but its a whopping £2000! supposed to offer better economy and more torque...
Downside like anything is high millers are starting to show LP fuel pump faults and clutch faults, and everything is more ££££ than a 1.9 xud or 2.1 xud. Still dont let that put you off!
