Hi im after some advice,im currently looking at buying one of these I wondered if people could give me some info on if there any good?? What kind off mpg? Things to look out for on them? Also has anyone had one remapped? Sorry for all the questions I've previously owned fords and vauxhalls! so haven't got a clue about these! Thanks marc
they remap very well. id be looking out for dpf issues and dmf issues
Thanks for the reply mate,so just the normal things with diesels then! apart from that are the engines reliable? who would you recommend for remapping?

[QUOTE=volvokid;655147]I think Al just bought a white V50 D5[/QUOTE] I did!
I have a 59 plate d5' Great car, I've removed the cat and dpf, I have a milltek turbo back exhaust, panel filter and a soft remap. They are not the best on fuel but the way they deliver the power and torque from any speed is worth it and the 5 pot grumble is very nice. I get an average of 44 mpg round town and have just got 64mpg av on a run, using mcst10 diesel additive and 2 stroke oil. Watch out for dpf problems as that's the reason I purchased the exhaust as I didn't want to fit another dpf unit
I've got the petrol version and I get around 28.5mpg winter mixed driving but over 30 mpg in summer I can squeeze 41 mpg if I sit at 70 mph on a long run but that doesn't happen very often. Hard track day work sees single figures of around 7.6 mpg last time I tried!
