<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

That was my first thought :cheesy: I suppose it depends how much you're got to spend and how soon you want your engine to self-destruct. I've seen the 2.1 chipped up to 180bhp but I wouldn't think it would last long, it's not really what they're for!

Mine was chipped to 140bhp by Derv Dr. But diesels are not for racing but rather low/mid-range pull... Which the 2.1 has in spades
2003 - 2008: 1998 Peugeot 406 2.1 TD 110bhp LX Saloon
2008 - 2009: 2004 Honda Accord 2.2 CDTI 136bhp Executive Saloon
2009 - 2013: 2002 Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI 110bhp Executive Saloon
2013 - 2021: 2007 Peugeot 407 2.2 HDI 170bhp Executive Saloon (mapped to 213bhp :twisted:)
2021 - ????: 2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 180bhp Titanium
