Thanks for the welcome guys
She runs well with plenty of power in reserve.
My thoughts exactly
Not planning on any mods. For me a diesel is a workhorse and thats exactly what this will be once I get the ladder rack on it. My chief concern is fuel economy.
Cant see any brand name on the tack but it certainly works which is nice for a penny pinching Scot lol
My last vehicle was a Ford escort car derived van. Check out the pic. It had a 1.6 Diesel and got 50mpg which is important when you live in a country where Diesel is the equivalent of $10 per gallon
LOl actually I come from Scotlands largest city (Glasgow) most of my time was spent behind buses and taxis in the city center whilst trying to go about my work
yep shes a good looker hope she shea a runer to
for a truck that nice, I could deal with not having A/C lol
Nice and clean! Turbo installed or no? Still cheaper than my truck and mines matte black.. These guys have some good tips for getting some performance out of a n/a engine too like the soup bowl
I'm curious what kind of tach that is. Several members have been interested in an aftermarket tach, but most wont work with diesels.
I gotta ask, what do you guys drive in scotland.
i hear they spend most of their time behind sheap

I was getting 46mpg in the city with that wee thing. My previous van was an Austin Maestro.(See pic) It had a 2.0 l DI Perkins Diesel and got me 50mpg in the city. The only drawback was that they were rust buckets. The sills and bulkhead would rot within 3 years unless you got one from new and did extra sealing work. The engines were superb though. A lot of them were taken out and used in boats.

Your truck looks really nice. Great find!
I got really drunk with a Scotsman in the Heathrow airport. I couldn't pay for one beer with my credit card because there was a $$$$ minimum. Turns out I had to buy 6 Stellas to meet that minimum. A great big **** slapped me on the back and boomed, "That's the way son!" I gave him 3 of them and he bought another round. I almost missed my flight home.
