Hi chaps,

I recently bought a 306TD for SWMBO. It's a '97, but in decent nick, 2
prev owners and 81k miles. Anyway, it looks likely that it's going to
be the family runaround, with me doing a good chunk of the driving, so
I'm thinking of things to give it a bit more poke.
I previously had a 405 with the same lump, and had that fettled by a
company down in Leics somewhere - it made it quite a bit quicker, and
I'd happily go back there, except that I'm living up in Durham now, so
I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyone in the Durham/Tees/Stockton area
or anywhere up to the Tyne who might be able to provide similar
fettlage[1], preferably without instant engine borkage?

I know Abo lurks round these parts somewhere and may have Local
Knowledge, but any suggestions welcome.

p.s. sorry for the OT posting..


[1] I could follow one of the internet guides and DIY, but I'm not sure
I trust myself - I'd rather find someone who knows from harsh experience
how much is too much...

Bah I was going to suggest DIY, I've not taken a car to be fettled for
ages. Motorscope on Standard Way in Northallerton used to be the dogs
but I'm not sure what they're like these days. Plenty of chav shops
round here though.

There's Future Racing Developments in the Boro but again I dunno what
they're like.

DIY is relatively straightforward on that engine though, if you don't
mind giving the fuel pump a bit of a reacharound. It's dead easy to mess
about with the fuelling. Just make sure you lob on a boost gauge first
so you know where you're starting from.

Nice guide he http://www.club-306.com/guides/306_turbo_tuning
