    Good day all. The 205 GRD diesel has been the main family car for just over two years now, this is use daily, for school runs, shopping, etc. It's just about to tick over 180,000 miles on the clock, and besides it sounding like a tractor it starts and runs every time without fail. From memory the GRD is only around 60bhp from new. Now compare that to my 205 TT with around 250bhp, it feels like I need to get out and push . So I have been thinking about giving the GRD a new heart. At 1st I was going to look at fitting a 1.8TD engine, but it's still going to sound like a tractor. I am now thinking about fitting a common rail diesel engine, something like the 307 2.0 HDI. I know that any modern diesel engine is all ecu controlled, but ecu & wiring I am not at all worried about. All I need to know is, will say a 307 2.0 HDI engine & gearbox fit the standard 205 engine mounts, and do the drive shafts line up as they should? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for your time. Best Regards.
