@Polski Boschski - can you please explain why you'd change the ECU and fuel pressure regulator? I'm new to all of this and I'd just be throwing stuff on without knowing why.
Early td5 engines did get updated a bit.
Head was changed and ECU was also changed.
Fuel pressure regulator is a consumable part at the back of the engine and easy to get at with the head off. It's a must do. Not expensive and easy.
ECU change will give you better fuel economy and other options for programming against the early ones which were set in their ways.


...AND while you are in there replace the injector wire loom. Again easy and cheap.
It gets wet with oil and doesn't last very long .
May as well change it for the sake of £40

Appreciate the thorough response. Thank you.

I'll check the receipts for a fuel pressure regulator and if it's not in there I'll replace it. ECU I may pass on depending on price.

Re. Head I'm weighing up replacing it with an AMC one.

Injector loom already here ready 👍
