Hi Nick

Its me again and guess who's got a Diesel Tunit fitted to his Sed.
Well its now smoother,less rattly(even cold) and has more get up and go. Its not mind blowing but makes the old bus a nicer more refined drive. Fuel consumption I'm not sure about,may be a tad better. On the other side its not cheap (look at Tunit.co.uk)at £400+ and Churchill wopped £50 on my policy and nearly doubled my excess assuming a 10% increase in performance. I'll be looking into this come renewal time. Its quite easy to fit and plugs into the common rail pressure sensor once youv'e removed the intercooler and engine cover. The Tunit is mounted on the r/hand strut housing(there's two convenient holes for the cable tie there)behind the power steering reservior as the wiring loom is longish and there must be no engine vibration. The sedona sounded like a tractor when new but after 23k its fine now so all in all I'm quite happy.

Regards John.
