Enjoy your SD, luckily it had PASM because I found that 21's without was not a good experience on poor roads.

With PASM on or off it’s surprisingly compliant actually—but then the C63 was like having a bag of rocks for suspension!

I'm sure you'll love the car. I've had my SD from new in late 2016. It's got 21's on and they're great, even with steel suspension. On long motorway runs it can go to 44 mpg, a great saver.

44mpg?! I must be doing something wrong!

I had the TDI tuning box fitted a couple of months ago (get the Bluetooth version, it’s worth the extra). It’s excellent. Has 1-7 settings and I just leave it on setting 1 as it’s better fuel efficiency and also faster too!

Tried setting 7 in Sports Plus and it’s definitely an SQ 5 eater on that setting - believe me!

Regarding warranty; yes, it affects it (my OPC in Reading gave me a friendly warning telling me to take the box off before bringing it in for any warranty work).

So, enjoy!

Good to know about the warranty! Extra power and mpg noticeably worth it in your opinion?

Definitely. I watched a few YouTube bits and bobs to put my mind at rest first.

Got a local mechanic to fit it for me for £30 (don’t trust myself!)

200 mile M1 runs give me 44+mpg (77mph cruise setting) ish now.

The engine and exhaust both give a little extra grunt too.

Acceleration was already good, but now it’s better. All this is on level 1. There are 6 higher levels....

You've got to believe it - home to York at average speed of 61 mph and not all Motorway either!

Not much restraint in evidence

- it was in summer

traffic with congestion around the Bristol, Birmingham and Nottingham sections and going into York.
