i think thats the later metro, K-series powered (1.4 petrol) so the diesel will be the equivelent. not an a-series though.

There is a diesel Diahatsu powered Moke getting around, looks like a fantastic conversion and he can get something like 1,500km from his long range tanks!

Apparently these were the same engines used in some Innocenti minis

That diesel Diahatsu powered Moke is from Cairns if I remember rightly...

It was at the Moke Muster last year.
