DaveS on here used to own a RED county with a tweaked 300Tdi which is now owned by Pete (Red October).
When Dave broke his neck doing a superman impression on a mountainbike, I drove his 110 home for him, then got a lift back to pick up my (then NA) 4BD1 RED county.
So - this is about as close as it gets!!! 2 RED countys of about the same vintage with different engines and R380/LT85 5 speeds.
There was a huge difference in low-down torque (in the 4BD1s favour). Only when you really wrung its neck on the highway did the Tdi shine over the NA isuzu.
