Well its still driving like a new car, cant believe my luck!
I am fully aware there's always a trade off, you know every silver lining has a black cloud, so i decided to validate my fuel consumption.
Filled it to the neck Monday night, clocked up 397 miles by this afternoon so call it 400.
57.4 litres to fill it to the neck, by my shocking maths that's 12.62 Gallons divided by 400 gives me 31.69mpg, really happy considering trip computer tells me i averaged 29.8mpg.
Still waiting for that Goblin to knock the fairy out and kick me in the bullocks.

A little better than I get on a run but not by much, very good for a barn door weighing 2.25 tonnes

At 60/65 mine tops 30mpg, at 70 it's nearer 28mpg. Long term average over 6 years is 24mpg. I'm a saddo, I log every fill brim to brim and reset the mileage trips each time, so as accurate as it's possible to be

Anyway, why's my car running like a racing snake? it feels great to blip the throttle from standstill or at speed and have instant acceleration.

I've always thought mine is OK after Pajero's and the like. Does it have a power box fitted?

Not to my knowledge and if it has it didn't work for the first 3 weeks I owned the car.
when I bought the car it felt exactly the same as my last Dse and I've driven others as well, they all feel pretty much the same, mine now really does feel sharp, no more powerful just sharp on the power transfer.

Know nothing about diesel but can it be different fuel? Did you fill up anywhere different to normal recently?

Hmmmm don't think so I always go to the same BP station, can't recall going anywhere else.
Honestly all I did last weekend was swap the valve block and driver and fitted led side light bulbs, if it's the bulbs I'm buying a sh1t load and selling them on here £10.a pair!!
