I think some of the 218 non-turbos were the 1905cc version. Rover chose to badge them all '218' regardless of whether they were 1769 or 1905cc.

I thought i read somewhere that some were 1905cc.Its the TD version,134k on it in good condition.Thats all i know for now.So it is a XUD then.So all the same things to lookout for as a Citroen/Pug then.Thanks to all.
