Sell it and buy a TDV8.
and welcome.
and welcome.
As the crankshaft is made of cheese, tuning wouldn't be advisable.

Is that the one that the crank shells revolve and the crank snaps?

I would keep it standard on the engine tuning front and make sure quality oils are used in every service.
It's a 10.000€ engine in a box here in France. Check the gearbox history and get it serviced. It's not sealed for life matey.

It's lovey car but I wouldn't like to own one. I fix cars all day long.. And some of the 2.7tdv6 and 3.0tdv6 vatients are a cash demand on many levels.

lol, uprated to what? For what purpose? What are you trying to do? Make it better off road, compete in a Baja 1000 or slam it and take it to the Nurburgring?

Alan’s just as bad he has a bright orange uprated MAP pipe
Uprated can mean anything. Is uprated to cheap and nasty better? For someone cheap it is. There’s a reason OE generally lasts so long and is considerably more expensive.
My adaptations are from necessity rather than the sake of it, there’s pros and cons to everything.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, or fix it til it is.
Choice is yours but enjoy it, that way the tears aren’t shed for nothing.

What exactly are you trying to do?
Are you looking to make a boy racer version of a 3tonne, off road capable, luxurious, prestige, vehicle. Already at the top of it's game, despite some reliability issues? Which you will roll down the windows put on your shades , and crawl around the town, hoping folks will like your chrome and brightly coloured parts?**
** they won't , they will think you're a d1ck , same as they think of all boy racers.
Or are you going on a major trek, and looking for, so expensive it will make your eyes bleed, uprated parts? If so there are companies that do this stuff, but prepare to touch your toes.
Or....... do you just want to know which make of brakes/bags/arms we use on ours and think are worth it , considering that it is 3t of vehicle.
If you tell us which of those you are trying to do, you might get more specific answers.
