I'd take a look at the posts in the engine section mate as that will give you an idea of how reliable they are.

The 1.9d is a basic lump and derided by many but it's cheep to run parts wise and always gave me mid 40's mpg. it will have issues going up steep hills but change down early and it will tackle anything. I had a 1.9 for 3 years and certainly not fast out of the blocks but she would get up to 70/80mph easily enough(not up a hill). Take it for a drive and see if it's for you

Just as Linden said and they run on veggie oil.Ive had mine 3 years and have no intention of changing it.60MPH all day long with really good mpg.
