went to my waterleaker tonight after a couple of weeks parked to find it does not link damp, took ages to start and popped and banged all the way home, luckily it only has days to go before it goes on the scrap and has a proper engine, one that is not bothered by water and has lots of torque.

Since ther is only one engine in the pic! it has to be the WBX! The red engine! (native american)
And the thing in the middle is most definatly Diesel! He looks the most gay and just buy looking at him he would probibly breakdown too!

We all know the petrol engines are a bit limp-wristed but they are much NICER engines... Ducky.

I am of the opinion that good Waterboxers are not limp-wristed - but find me a GOOD waterboxer

Thats alot of money for an extra 13bhp and 125bhp for a 2.5 is pathetic.

Don't forget, there's no forced induction here and apparently they are quite torquey.
Diesels only ever match petrol engines when they have a turbocharger to lean on.....

Diesels do love oxygen, that's why, and if I remember correctly, it's still free!!
Fuel? They can do with a little less of, and manage well
