I'm swapping selling the Zafira to get something cheaper to run and
it's down to the Fiesta or Peugeot 206 Diesels, I knoe they both have
the same engine, but does the 206 have 16 valves on the head?

anybody have either of these, and what is real world MPG, I had a
Laguna 2.2 dci 150 awhile back(new) they claimed 47Mpg I could get 36
at best!! so dont trust the manufacturers.

Mondeo states (IIRC 48), but I've managed 10mpg more than that. Just a light
right foot needed! I was up to an indicated 60mpg last week, now dropped to
58.5. Likely to be ~54 in reality.


which is the best to go for,

It will be 02-03 reg as they seem to be in abundance for £3k-£4k

cheers :-)

We have the Fiesta 5 door 1.4 tdci. Parkers says 64mpg, and the missis gets
60 around town. I get about 50 out of it at motorway speeds. The 1.4s are
8 valve, and the 1.6s are 16v. Looking at Parkers, the pug 1.4 and 2.0 are
8v, and the 1.6 is 16v.

IIRC, the 1.4 lumps are actually the same engine (with a slight ECU mod to
lower the max torque in 1st on one of them, to stop blowing up the gearbox)..
