Mondeo TDCI opinions?
Having a discussion with somebody (who also seem convinceds a CTR isn't a hot hatch but a Vectra VXR is 
) who seems to think they reall aren't all that.
Does anybody have any stats for the car stock and Bluefinned (Tiff
) and figures for the ST220.
CheeRS in advance people

Has anyone got the figures for a Mondeo 2.2 ST TDCi with a Motorsport Developements Live re-map?
Thinking of going down that road rather than a stock Bluefin.
Cheers Guys.

Its just a new figure people use as its a bigger number Thats why they they stick with BHP rather than use KW like downunder 360nm is 265lbft
410nm is 310lbft
Fairly unslow, but you wont be scalping proper performance cars in one.

Thats a great way to respond to someones 1st post Billy_RST 
Thanks to everyone else who replied.
The ST TDCi is a great machine and I have covered 22k miles without any problems and lots of grin factor.
Its not a sports car its a Performance Diesel
It will give most spotty little oiks a good run for their money in their rusty Escorts and still return 46.5 mpg and happily sit at 100+ all day without a murmer.
Anyway I was looking at a live re-map but its 180 miles from where I live and just in case their is any snags with the tune its a long way to go back to get it sorted out. It also means that every 12500 miles I would need to remove the Evolution Chip from the ECU before it went into Fords for servicing/PCM upgrade.

looks like a Bluefin might be the answer unless I can find a re-map franchise in Surrey who could do the upgrade.

It's something I want to do to my van but am a bit concerned about implications to the warranty. I like the idea of removing the upgrade before sending the van in for any warranty repairs but i'd need to be able to do it myself.

yeah im sure he is, his mate must have an LX or something, a typical repmobile, he should try the 2.2 with sport suspension, i know people that owned BMW's that rate the mondeo better for its handling.
