Large tyres yes (well, only 265/75/16's), surely the D2 high range Tbox would give a higher top speed - which is what me and Ragerover have not got at the mo !

And as for replacing the EGR junk, I'd fit thishttp://www.irbdevelopments.com/EGR_TD5.html over the one you mention - as it comes with a new vacuum hose, rather than a soppy little rubber plug to blank off the T-piece in the existing hose.

ragerover:
running 265/75/16 mt`S TOO BUT THEY WERE ON THE OLD 200 TDI I SUPPOSE ILL HAVE TO TRY AND FIND SOME ONE LOCAL WITH AN ECU TO SWAP OR AN INDIPENDANT DEALER WITH  THE FACILLITY`S TO CHECK FOR FAULTS
ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS KEEP EM COMIN
CHEERS

Jimbo:
Martin,

Is yours a hardtop or station wagon - do you know what it was used for in it's previous life, is it ex-utility company or anything ?

ragerover:
yep its a hard top  both owners have been private individuals so i think itll be standard gearing

You can't just swap ECU's on a Td5 - the engine ECU is matched to the alarm 10AS ECU, so if you swap ECU's you need to swap them as a pair unless you have diagnostic kit (the 10AS is the green box screwed to the bulkhead behind the clock panel)
