Train of thought in the past was always that if the fuel is delivered by Lucas technology then best make it bio or pump diesel.

2.1 are lucas pumps, think mark had or has a 2.1 and he changed pump to a BOSCH 1.9TD one, but it changes dash/ECU lights

Not unless the IP is swapped.
Some have run twin tanked, but even then they can suffer.

It uses a Lucas EPIC pump, which isn't the best on pump diesel, mine suffered on bio so I swapped it to a Bosch from a 1.9.
