I like them 806/synergie and Ulysse but whenever I'm looking I can never find one. 807s look good too but apparently the modern diesels have fap tanks and all added goodies*

Did a spazzy run from Northants to Norfolk and back; managed 42.8mpg (and the tank isn't even empty yet).

Given the age, weight, size and mileage of the thing, that'll do nicely.

I reckon it'll drop a few clicks when fully loaded but it's still very useful.

I'm going to see if I can up the power a bit without it rolling coal. It's definitely loosened up but I could do without it falling off boost so quickly.
It has a Bosch pump and a FMIC from what I can tell.

If it's got a 'starwheel' sorta thing on top of the UFO shaped bit of the pump then wind that in a bit. That adjustment ups the fuelling off boost & was the best tweak I ever did on a Tdi LR.
