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.

p.s. sorry for the OT posting..

I'm trying to find someone who'd do similar to my 1.9TD Xantia with the
same motor as yours, so if you find out, let me know.. I don't mind
travelling to have it done right!

cheers
MIke
Well, after encouragement from the others, and reading through a couple of
the how-to guides, it really doesn't look too daunting, so I reckon I
might have a go at DIYing it.
If you don't fancy that, the people I used for my 405TD we
www.dervdoctor.co.uk (services-mechanical tuning)
IIRC, it cost about £120, and they are based in Asbourne (Derbyshire?
Leics? somewhere halfway down and flat, anyway...)

That's what I'm looking for :-) At the moment, I've no way of getting under
the car to fiddle with the wastegate. I'm sure it's not boosting properly as
it will only do 105mph now. When I got it, it would indicate a heady 125
:-). It *feels* flat too...

Thanks a lot!
Mike

No problem. The 405 chugged along a good bit better after they had
twiddled with it for an hour or so - definitely worth the dosh. If they
weren't several million miles south of me now I'd be heading back there.

Good luck!
