does it give a meaty throb at idle? Any drone or annoying sounds? Any better mpg? I agree, I am mainly intent on doing it primarily for visual appeal / balance, however the throbbing idle (outside) on the Mondeo Mk3 2.0 tdi without back box would Really suit the looks of the RC - It is not...

welcome to the inner circle of Series 2 HDi Gts fans :) You appear to have a Verminator cousin there, Grey Lady 2 ;) Fabulous cars, bought mine in January, mint condition throughout in Moroccan Red (took 2 yrs to find and save for) Cant take my eyes off her when polished.... :) Dont ask me...

I hear what u r saying, however I am looking for someone with regular RCZ maintenance / tuning experience. U may not consider the car out of the ordinary, however it clearly is quite different from a 308 I dont trust Pug main dealers as they rarely see the RCZ and as u say, there is no reason...

Interesting :) I want to try and keep mine MOT friendly

Exactly what I am looking to do :) Some queries: How was the exhaust surround modified to match the OE n/s cut out - just bremmeled out? The o/s chassis has a hanger point for an OE rubber mount? - I was worried about a garage having to do that Anyone queried the removal of the silencer MOT...

Thanks guys, appreciate your detailed v helpful response MM :)

Thanks MM, I am still wondering if coming from just the actuator (crankcase oil laden fumes) the leak is minor Wow the throttle body price is crazy good - just a speedo sensor for the Griff is Seven times that price in Rip Off UK..

finally got photos in to a mail..then they vanished.. I had to ctrl V paste them into text body as couldnt find a way of using the drop in pic button (pics are in an email on pc)

..also , just infront of dipstick, mine appears to have a throttle body, so the leak is a few inches in front of dipstick and few inches to right behind what looks like a throttle body - not very photo friendly area, however I can try - how do i upload images plse?

thats great idea...how do i circle the area (non PC in a lot of ways!)?
