PS the diesel Tourer has now done 153K and is as smooth (remapped by Big Russ) as when I bought it 9 years ago.
It still needs some work, i got 52mpg to wales and back couple of weeks ago, 260 mile round trip, regular 48/50mpg on good runs, various speed from 55mph to 75mph, nice to kick the cobwebs out now and again, EGR gutted and blanked, 3 ringed intercooler O-rings, cleaned out manifold & clean MAP sensor, clean air filter, proper fuel filter, and a MB special upgrade
