Using LMGTFY Td5 Inside are based in Portugal; TD5 Alive in the UK.
Discorevy might be a bit far away to recommend Sydney garages, but he and others here are right on the money.Quote:

HD torque converter, upgraded trans cooler for towing, DON'T go for significantly bigger tyres unless you reduce gearing to compensate, do EGR and cat removal and exhaust manifold.
EDIT - low coolant alarm below is cheap insurance/must have.
Maybe fall into nice to have/or recommended, but also
oversize intercooler, silicon hoses, Provent 200 filter, low coolant alarm (sold on this site), boost controller? (ask Jose), TD5Inside hybrid? turbo (on my wish list),
I also added the finned TC oversize sump, and regularly service the auto trans hoping for more than a 250K lifespan.
I'm sure I've forgotten some/others will have different views, but enjoy what is an unusual but excellent mode of transport.
Yep , Gavin's right ........too far away . he's also right about egt gauge, although Jose is pretty spot on about keeping egt low enough , you should factor in an egt gauge to keep your eye on internal temps, especially when towing up hills, also if your manual disco is laggy down low a lot of the time its because someone has fitted 32" tyres, all this will be helped by the tune but to eliminate it altogether you need a variable geometry turbo, and/or different gearing
