As title.

I've just bought, but not collected yet, a 2002 130 TDI sport, just wondered what sort of rpm its doing at 70mph in 6th on standard wheels/tyres?

In 6th, the original TDI Sports are geared at 37.5mph/1000rpm.

So by my maths it'll be around 1900rpm.

In my 6 speed cupra TDI gearbox powered Fabia, 70mph is just a spit over 2000rpm, near as damnit smack-on. This makes sense as 140mph is in the region of 4000rpm to 4100rpm, with that extra bit more to give, if the car were not as aerodynamic as a smeg fridge.... :D

Sounds right, 1,900rpm

Whilst the FR TDi sits at around 2,100rpm
