Just wondered if anyone has had a remap on their 2.2 td and was it worth it for fuel saving and performance?

In my experience, re-mapping for economy doesn't work, unless it corrects some error. A diesel will only make more power by adding more fuel. Adding more fuel will increase fuel consumption. The only reason re-mapping "may" reduce fuel consumption, is by allowing a higher gear to selected earlier. You definitely can't have more power and use less fuel as diesels don't work that way.

I was thinking that under normal driving conditions around town is where the economy would come in but when needed the extra bhp would kick in and off we go?

Bit like putting a weaker spring on the accelerator peddle maybe?
Having said that, a good remap will take out the MAF map, so you get a nice big cloud of smoke and a really good remap will take out the Torque map so you can destroy the engine. So there are choices out there.
