We have a 06' Mondeo TDCI (115bhp), I was thinking of having mine done but was warned we can't do it to this model.

Something to do with the engine management will go bonkers!

If you can, go for it. Your car (should) run smoother, and get a bit better mpg, with a few other plusses thrown in (that I can't remember)

Who's offering this 'service' anyway??

Get the plate yourself (ebay usually) and do it yourself, normally two bolts only loosened to then 'slot in' the plate.

Job done in 10 minutes max.

That's what I've been told too, have to have the ECU fiddled with it if I have mine done.

As for a plate? I'm stuck for you too.....

When I had Land Rovers a lot of people fitted blanks to the tdi Discos and Defenders, kits were readily available,but I have heard it is not easy on later cars due to the ECU.

Ithought about it on my Saab (GM diesel engine) but have been advised against it for reasons earlier posters have stated. Let well alone I think.

You're correct.

There should be no warning lights on, on the dashboard when being MOT tested.

I remember a 'bent' taxi driver, he used to remove any lights that  were on before going for a MOT test. The ABS and engine management lights were the usual one to be removed!
