I have a late facelift diesel tourer Auto , and have had both an EGR bypass and a 160 remap, to be honest I have not noticed a lot of difference, I do mainly Motorway mileage and struggle to get more than 40 mpg that is with correct tyre pressures, a light Right foot and rarely going past 2k RPM.

I bought my Tourer auto as I have a bit of Arthritis is my left knee and thought I would give it a bit of a rest! I suppose I could have got a manual but personally speaking I think an Auto box suits the image of the 75 better, but for my liking A ZT (saloon or Tourer) it has to he manual

Oh and by the way I have an inline thermostat mod and new Viton 'O' rings.
