Thanks ,mate, I have a lot to learn. I just found it hard to understand why you would put a smaller output engine in a vehicle that I think is crying out for a TDV6, or 5 cylinder transit engine, I think it is ridiculous that people have to "chip" their engines to get the power they need for their particular application, the vehicles should be sold with the capability supplied , Bob

Do people really need more power, or do they do it because they can?
We went away over Easter with two adults & two teenagers in the 2.2 D90 with the camper trailer on the back, & at no time did I wish I had "more power".
It did everything I asked of it with still more in reserve.

My editing makes this sentence much more interesting

There are the others like me that would like to have a long life and reliable engine like the 3.9 Isuzu
