Default Well I have done it

Hi every one i have not been on here for a bit such a busy time for me but i have finally sold my ZT V6 but have just bought a CDTi instead so hopefully picking that up tomorrow looking forward to it. I think a rover ron box will on the list soon. Can any recommend any thing to check on this diesel. Thanks Alex

Check the following..

PCV filter
All filters & belts (timing chain should last a few '000 miles, depending on the mileage on yours)
EGR (consider a by-pass)
Air intake Mod 2 can be recommended
and most definitely a Synergy 2 with a Pierburg MAF - the car then flies

When you say Air intake Mod 2 do you mean the one where you remove the flex pipe?
