    2003 TD5 Which ECU remap/Chip/Power Box

    Hewey I can vouch for Allisport on my 97/300tdi auto. They fitted their upgraded intercooler, did the usual EGR blank, ITG air filter, silicon hoses, cat removal and modified the ECU chip. I chose modified because it is less prone to poor contact issues. I tested it to its limit on a trip to...

    gear selecter problems

    Reminds me of the old Ford Pop sit-up-and-beg with slits in the headlamps and double de-clutching days. What are Ulot like. Don't mess with it, take it out, stick it in the "DISHWASHER", slap some grease and sawdust into it, cook it on 450 and serve it up with WINS90. or get an exchange. Do...

    Tri-Fuel

    If I had a title like yours others would expect me to use quad-fuel. Three for the car and one in my flask ;)

    Tri-Fuel

    I'm only looking at someone else doing it with veg oil. I can't see the point of all that hassle. I'll do the LPG when I'm convinced it's safe. Where do you find the bio and what does it cost? How do you confirm the mixture ratio in your tank?

    Tri-Fuel

    Since when did the inlet manifold come before the turbo :cool: However in one case I do know a person who does inject the gas immediately after the turbo thus sending it through the intercooler etc. He claims it gives a better mix but I reckon there must be a significant lag in response if not...

    Allisport fitted mine when they upgraded the engine. If I recall they charged about the same £50

    Disco 300Tdi CAT Removal !!!!!

    I've exchanged my cat for the straight through defender exhaust and told by the L/R garage that MOT's won't be an issue. Hope this helps

    Auto transmission problems

    Can't be sure about your model but my oil level should be checked with a cold engine. My garage obviously did it while the engine was hot so when I checked it one cold morning the levels were off the stick. Its surprising how much difference the temperature can make to the levels.

    Stainless Exhausts - Is it worth it ?

    Fox, the suspension is a standard upgrade kit from M&M4x4. You get ProComp gas shocks, standard height heavy duty springs and poly bushes. I also added ProComp Steering damper, replaced all track rod ends, anti-roll bar bushes and linkages to make certain the car was safe. The LPG is becoming...

    Stainless Exhausts - Is it worth it ?

    Hi Spetrum418 I have exactly the same mods on my 97 300tdi with 45K and have considered the Janspeed S/S system for £350 however I'm told it doesn't add much to the performance, only endurance. I thought it more important to upgrade the suspension & handling which is now completed so the...

    Steering damper

    I bought a complete upgrade from M&M 4x4 for towing, (springs, shocks, bushes etc). the gas shocks and steering damper (individually priced at £28) were from ProComp It has really made a big difference.

    Lights humming

    If the car hasn't been used for a day or two it could just be the mice running the dynamoo :D are you sure its a hum and not a fast chatter, the mice might be singing or having a natter. If you can't find the problem with a worn relay go join the mice and have a good day. ;) ;)
