It's a TGV 2.8 that they use abroad instead of the TD5
And yes I like but £5k I don't like :-(

...ouch...
I've had 200, 300 and TD5 and my money would be on the TD5 every time.
My current one's remapped but only to about 150bhp just for that bit of extra oomph with a heavy trailer on. I wouldn't want to go much more without an intercooler upgrade.
Roy used to have a 300tdi fender which was about 160-170bhp but it did about 14mpg

Was that 14 mpg when your foot is down or is that average?

I'm another previous owner of 200 & 300TDi engines who now also owns a TD5.
The TD5 sounds downright sexy with a tinkered exhaust when you let it rip.
Like Buck has said, they are electronic but if you've got the right equipment and can do work yourself they aren't rocket science. They are a lot simpler than most people fear them to be.

Jeremy J Fearn Intercooler, tweaked pump and Vortex exhaust. (the vortex exhaust allowed it the pump to be tweaked but kept emissions down)
When he had it done it probably had about 30K on, after him it went to another mate and i'd guess 60-70k by the time he sold it. It ate a gearbox and a couple of diffs but don't think that was down to the power.
It was on BFG muds and still went like **** off a shovel, and sounded very nice indeed. Probably got a pile of pics and vids around somewhere..
there's a few pics in the gallery here.. I have to say I look a bit younger and slimmer here..
