Astra TD / TDi Query ????
Am looking at getting an Astra Estate (1999 onwards) for lugging the usual house crap about and was wondering which is the one to go for, the 1.7 or the 2.0 DTi and have heard there are two types of engines so which one should i be looking at as i wanna get one to keep for a while.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
Cheers RAZ.

I know it's maybe not the object to get the ultimate driving machine here but if it were Vectra vs Astra, I'd take the Astra unless I needed the space.... In which case I'd look at Mondeos and Lagunas first.

We probably fundamentally disagree on cars then - cos Laguna's are amongst the single most ****e cars ever made.
Raz - test drive them, both efficient and strong engines. cheap and cheerful honest cars.

The DTi is an excellent engine but when the injector pump breaks expect a £1500 bill
The Izuzu engine is a bit more agricultural and then the Fueling ECU breaks expect a £900 bill
Go and buy a VW/Skoda/Seat Diesel if you can
