    Nice work mate.

    Looks in good nik.

    Change when you feel its time.

    Diesels work on low down torque not revs, so the higher the revs, the less happens usually.

    The turbo lag is a bit of an issue and a better intercooler and pump tweak can help.

    I also tend to change around the 1800-2500 mark.

    Check your cooling system is good and timing belt been done every 80k km's.
    These are the two biggest killers of these motors.

    Happy driving

    Welcome mate,

    Heaps of answers here....
    Change the timing belt as a priority. I just did mine the hard way, to be avoided...!!!

    Not sure on the auto, mine's a 200, turbo kicks in around 1500, wind it out to suit situation really...

    Best of luck mate...

    Jay
