    Series 2 coil conversion

    Craig asked if it has been done I presume to see how easy or hard it would be to do himself. I had lots of people giving advice on not to convert my own chasis but as its MINE, I decided to do it. I would preffer to do this rather than put an illegal chassis under it and still claim my...

    300 tdi centre box removal (straight through).

    MIne has had the cat and centre box out for 2 mot's now. better on a run but only a couple of mpg. Also run a large k+n filter for the intake, EGR blanked off as it was stuck open. Seems a lot better towing, not faster or too loud.
