Post by: hoofing it on 11 October 2014, 20:55:27
Well a vowed never to get another 2.5td lump after the tractor I had caused me meega greiff but I couldn't resist the range rover p38.     
Oh and it's a manual and the air suspension that works (theres a bonus until it goes t**s up).
First thing done cat removed turbo advanced and he-presto on the first thrashing everyone behind vanishes in black clag ;D ;D result goes alot better :) 8).

Heard of this being done on several different cars but not the 2.5 td before, I do a fair bit of servicing so have an abundance of it and have considered gettting an old mechanical pump diesel ala 405/xantia and runnung for free.
