    The "d" word, and remaps - here goes!!

    Ok, I admit it, I have got a diseasel, a 1.9 JTD to be precise. It's roll-on acceleration is quite impressive for such a small engine, but it delivers it all in one huge gob of torque, which even I, with my fondness for 3200 boost lunacy, find a little irritating. So it rows aliong ok, but i...
