The only real way to make sure is to have it tested on a rolling road by a qualified engineer.

As for tuning, not my subject, but doubtless someone will give you more info shortly.

Registration Document, Sticker on side of Doorframe or as above Rolling Road.
Be either around 115BHP or 131BHP.
There are loads of Threads on getting more power from the Diesel.
Have a Read about Rover Ron's Synergy tuning box for 150BHP
Link at top of some pages on Rolling Ad.

According to this thread: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...=115bhp&page=2 you can determine the BHP option from your V5 document.

Quote from pondweed:

'If its says 01C then its 116
03C can be both according to the factsheet - probably a mistake
05C is 116
07C is 131'

05C is in three tables 2 showing 116 and 1 showing 131
Likewise 03c is also showing in three tables again 2 showing 116 and 1 showing 131.

02c is in 4 tables 2 showing 116 and 2 showing 131

so as James says the only true way is a rolling road test.

I know as I searched high and low to get a definative answer on my car.
