You really know how to make me dribble dontya! I had a friend pop round yesterday. He had his D2 which he had done a few bits to since I last saw him. I noticed it had a bit of a grunt to the exhaust note, never heard a noise like that from any diesel in my life! I don't know what it was but he...

Interesting thanks. Any suggestions for exhausts? I am not concerned with MOT issues if I removed EGR, as mine isn't a see you next tuesday. :) I doubt I will remove it now though thanks to this thread. I might clean it up though!

Out of interest, what made you decide to do it and did you notice any difference? Interesting. I generally don't change stuff unless there's a definite good reason. A few people I know said they noticed quite a difference on TD5 WHEN COMBINED with other things, which of course begs the...

Ha, thanks. I didn't even think about whether it's actually working or not! Will ask my mechanic to remove mine i think

Just a quick question, I noticed that post is nearly a decade old. Is it still as relevant/true today? I am considering working through that list starting with EGR blank/removal.

I have just replaced my MAF meter. So that's ok. Not sure what the MAP is so will look into that thanks

Re Stage 2 - I was told you can't do the intercoolor jobbie if you have a TD5 with AirCon. Is that true? I have aircon :( A friend of mine had the intercooler done and a stage 2, and it was truly amazing!

"Sounds like it needs a in person tune rather than a remote tune." - Thanks for that, I was wondering about that myself. I am down in Cornwall so I don't have access to most of the well known ones. I did consider sending it away again to Empire Tuning as they seemed to know their stuff, but even...

****, really?! I wouldn't have thought to look for a used one. Good call as usual Sir!

Ha, yes exactly. I once helped at a crash. Kid in a ****roen Saxo had lowered it to within an inch of its life, then slammed it around a 50mph bend right outside a military base. It clipped a bump, bounced all over the place, and ended up rolling into the sentry post. One very unhappy man armed...

Thanks. I didn't think it was overfuelling as no smoke at all coming out the back, I certainly would return it to standard if I can. will look into how to do that if its possible. Overall I agree, but my understanding is that was true, until the EU and all the green hoax brigade turned up with...

How times change eh Stan. :D Interesting question. Yes it was recent, and no I haven't been happy with it since having it done. I messaged him when I first put the ECU back in (it was a send away), to say I was impressed as I was when I first took the car up the road and back, definitely better...

Lathe? Mini? I am feeling light-headed just thinking about it :D

Just worked out the MPG. FFS! I fitted a new MAF a week ago, drives much better now. It was remapped by DynaChip. 350 mile journey averaged 23.35 MPG. Feckin shocking. It's a manual too. When I first bought it a year ago I got 32mpg on the 300 mile trip home. Any tips would be welcome on where...

Ha, superb! I never even thought about levelling. Do'nt even know how to do it. And also don't know how to use the high/low/difflock stick - I really need to sit down and read the manual some time, if i had one :D

You'd pay for this, ya know ya wud

Yeah but I bet you didn't floor it. BWAAA HAAA HAAA HAA. I should be in fecken stage, I tell ya :D

Thanks very much everyone. yep I have a solid board and a steel plate too. Should be good to go. thanks again

Thanks very much. I was just trying to work how to get two 15.5 stone mates in the boot!

I need to collect a generator, it's a pretty big diesel 5kw jobbie. I think it weighs around 150kg, so assume 200kg max. Bit scared of damaging my D2. If I put thick ply on floor of boot that will protect from the cosmetic damage of the wheels digging down into the floor. But I don't have a...
