Hopefully this is a fairly simple question for yourselfs.

I am interested in Chiping my 2.5TD. My questions are,

Firstly is it worth it?

Secondly who or where do i go to get it done(electrics are not my forte!)? Any recommendations?

Thirdly What are the down sides?

And finally what will it cost?

Hope you can help me?

1, yes its worth it"totally different anmal when done

2,depending on the year of your car its just a plug in job, later ones need a little bit of soldering doing

3, can be supplied via me or the boy cost £70 i think to forum members
prob better pm to the boy as im in spain at mo

If yours is an auto, the gearbox isn't man enough.

good point well presented! i forgot the chocolate autobox problem

[Goodwood]

Thanks for the concern, but i was aware of the gearbox issue, hence i bought a Manual.

Ok, Next question,

What sort of gains should i expect?

Is there anything else i would need to change(The Volvo forums always advocated a stage 0 Service) or expect to break?

[TheBoy]

Nope, though expect rear tyres to take more of a beating

Generally, it brings it back to around BMW spec, from the knobbled Opel spec.
