The concensus recently was 28 to 32 mpg if you don't hoof it.  I'd say think about LPG instead, less work and the insurance doesn't clobber it as a modification.  If you can get a really good TDi with the box and wiring loom then fine but TBH if it's from a car that's been broken for parts you've got to wonder if the engine isn't as bad as the rest of the car.

Im on my second head gasket in about 18 months.

Decided that the next time mines goes its getting a 200tdi or a V8, favouring a V8 to save changing fuel tank and lines etc

Many have said to just get another car when I asked the same question months ago, but the rest of the motor is very good, just lacks a good engine.
