hey, thanks for replying...
I am looking to convert to diesel from petrol... no experience with diesels...so looking for info too.
car has a good 5 speed in the car, engine has low compression on 3rd cylinder...(30psi!!!) others are around 100psi, no difference on a wet test so probably valves, having a look on the weekend.
Sorry about the last post... did it on my phone, that'll teach me not to check it before i post!
