Gone and buy an brand new td5 commercial...seemed like a good idea at the time ( 3.5k of list from a main dealer with all the options )

Nice one, congratulations.

done a bit of surfing and a plug in chip will yield 160bhp and more torque than the v8, and when the warranty runs out its a bigger intercooler and a turbo tweek for 190bhp

just need to make it a bit louder next ...

When I was on Croisière Blanche (a randonne through the French alpes) with British participants a few years ago, I had the opportunity to see Chris Bashall's (from Surrey Off Road) 90 Tdi.
It had increased boost, and a watercooled turbocharger, when he pulled the key, the engine would still run until the charger's temperature was safe.
Looked funny to see a man locking the door and leaving his car with the engine still running

Anyway, he fitted an exhaust which sounded amazing for a 4cyl Diesel, and the engine had something just under 200hp

Not only funny, but illegal, too.
