You bought it, but you're not sure what it is ? Wow you must be keen.

Welcome back anyway...

Regards,
Simon

To check for 110:

1. The gear lever is sort of wonky! It leans over to the passenger side of the car when in neutral.

2. Open bonnet and have a look at the air pipes - 110's have a second air pipe running alongside the air box.

110s go like stink on the open road....

Hi, it looks like a HDI 90, not the 110
Runs smooth enough but it doesnt seem the get that surge when the turbo comes in like it does on the 1.9 td.
I have to replace the rear spheres, not a hard job though.......

Ahh, and there was me thinking only my Activa did that

Must be a quirk of the MK2 cable change. My MK1 2.1 with the same gearbox but a different cable set-up does not do it, the gearstick is perfectly centred

Another easy way to tell if it's a 90 Paul is by the gearbox. 90s have the BE3 with rod linkage change whereas the 110 has the cable-change ML5.

Sadly, it seems only the 1.9TD has that "coming on boost" feeling

Hi, it's a 90bhp model. Seems slow though compared to my old 1.9td

Sounds quieter though

Don't be fooled Paul, it's just a deceptive feeling, the same is said of the 2.1TD as well. The deception is continued by the quietness of it

As the song (nearly) goes 'it's just an illusion'.... on the other hand the fuel consumption is something else.
