CorkyJohn 808 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I might be wrong but....The mazda rf engine was in the 96/96 models so weren't really GV's, mine wasn't on the logbook. I have a 2001 GV now & they have the peugeout 2.0HDI engines, reliable & cheap to replace. Mate has the petrol & said its shit on fuel, my diesel does 35 round the doors & 40-42 on a run. Decent motors if you find a good one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
