Its done guy's & girls , Bought the GTD170 after loads of research, and racking my brain's going from ED30 to GTD170. But test drive on the duel carrage way, just blew me away that engine note made me smile :laugh:

You'll love it. I've found in the past that diesels seem to take longer than petrol to 'loosen up' I'm at 7500 miles and the engine is really responsive now. So what colour and spec did you go for?

Yes i have to agree i did fall in love with it today , that engine note sounded like an R32 very addictive!! Loads of torque feels like you are flying but looked at the speedo was doing 70 didint even realise it . Sport mode and i was getting 30 mpg and i was moveing too. The ed30 18 to MPG so massive inprovment and just so smooth & refined no tractor noise ether. The exust has been tuned sounds much better than my ED30, very impressed its come on heaps & bounds the engine!! I hated diesil engine's but not any more got to be the way forward !! Twin turbo would nice though we live in hope??? Once its run in will go for bluefin and get upto 200 psi , Then it will blow VW kev away hahahaha :laugh: Ps not sure about the ACC though didnt really feel that much differance with if i'm honest?? Good to hear your thoughts on ACC?
