Not at all. What is being said is that the facts simply do not add up. The 1.9TD engine wasn't even designed in 1991, so there's no way a 1991 BX could possibly have had one from the factory.
And given your initial attitude of stating that some people "don't know what they're talking about" I think you've only been given as good as you gave.
As to your reference to the caravan towing article. I believe I've seen that, and the two cars under test were a 19TZD (1905cc naturally aspirated) and a 17TZD (1769cc turbo). The test was to see if a larger N/A engine or a smaller turbo engine was the better choice.
the statements practically calling me an idiot and liar were made b4 i made the statement"dont know what they are talking about" was made,and as for you calling me a liar again,there we go......for that vehicle i had to send the insurance company a photocopy of my V5 and a statement issued by citroen france that ,that car was built with that engine before the insurance company would touch it,because they had it down as a n/a engine and said if it had a turbo that was a modification,and i would have to go to a insurance company that specialised in modified vehicles
as for the article in the paper,you could be right,thats why i was looking for it,to make sure.
and as for the statement the 1.9td wasnt even designed then,how do you know ?.............the only people that will know will be citroen france,and if like any other car manufacturer,1/2 the time they dont even know whats in their own cars..................ford was experimenting with anti-lock brakes several years before they became the norm,as i said with the granada,it wasnt until an extensive search was done through ford using the VIN number that it came to light why my car had different components on the braking system
