I had my old TD6 remapped with intergalactic space ship mileage on it and put a further 15k on it with no problems(engine or gearbox anyway), sold it nearing the 200k mark and according to the vehicle check app it's still on the road.

I have had a TD6 for six years and can't understand why people seem to consider them under-powered it's never even crossed my mind. I find the car drives perfectly well for my needs and is very quiet for a diesel. Imo the car is designed for cruising at a modest rate not for rushing about like a fn idiot. If you want to rush about buy something more appropriate. |

I had my TD6 remapped by JE Engineering and it was much nicer to drive. I'd have it remapped and if you are still not happy you need a different car altogether or a V8 Rangie.

My TD6 was remapped at 6 months old by the previous owner. Was actually done by the main dealer at a cost of £500! Anyways, I certainly don't find it wanting. Put your foot down and it does pick up and go.

Sadly that's what you get for buying a diesel 4.4 V8 all the way, better acceleration LPG conversion gives better money equivalent mileage |
