Dervs go well with a few cheap mods, decat, BMC panel filter, push the boost up, remap, Ive got a MAFRAM box, dont know what it does but suppose to give better running, ss Powerflow exhaust. You can put in SDi injectors, and can then see 150 bhp + increase in torque, but at a cost to the mpg.
Was getting 50+ mpg but after playing around its more like 40+ but thats using the torque and smiling all the time.
Its a different way of driving, dont have to use all the revs, as they pull from 1500 up to 4500 most wierd after being used to max power at max revs.
Only probs I've had was the o/s/r brake stuck on chewing up disk, was rusted up.
Been round Brands as a novice and took it to Santa Pod, 134 bhp, Santa Pod 17.5 secs and 82 mph, not as fast as the 180, but tax is only ?125 a year and ins. is lowish.
I would get another one, are quick enough and can keep up with most cars.
