Bit of info here from where I had one:
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11249920
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11230997

I ended up returning it as i saw no improvement and my car would constantly cut out and go into leap home mode (or whatever its called).
From memory i paid close to $200 on ebay from this mob WWW.TDI-TUNING.CO.UK.

After finding out that my car had a particulate filter and talking back and forth with the seller, this was the reason the tuning box did nothing.

$850 for a bluefin tune module re-sets the computer puts in a new program! I have been told this is the way to go, the tune boxes are not good apparently because they make the car smoke more blocking up the particulate filter!!

Elgreko, Does that mean they may work on the 2007 TDCI which did not have the particulate filter?
