Do you mean this? I've already considered it, £450 seems like an awful lot for possible fuel savings that isn't possible to calculate until it's installed, also my car's 8 years old with 85,000 miles on the clock, I don't think I'll make the money back in fuel savings.

BTW my engine doesn't have common rail injection - just the bog standard direct injection. Opel/Vauxhall didn't use common rail injection on their diesels until 2004, well after everyone else have changed over. However, there is a tunit available for my car anyway.

I'm just being curious but why did you copy my post from a few months back...?
