G'day all, thought I'd join to share thoughts and hopefully gain advice on my second car. 2008 6Speed man 2.O TDCI. Being from Melbourne Australia it's easy for me to travel minimum of 30,000 kl'm to 45,000 kl'ms per year due our distances. ( 450 kl'm just for work and back each week) Anyway primary rig is a 4.0 Landcruiser Prado which likes a drink at 13 Litres per 100. Hence why I have the diesel Focus for weekdays. Looking for any thoughts as to what is advised to give the the little rocket a bit more kick. Live in a twisty mountainous area ( Mt Dandenong Ranges Ranges Victoria 3766) and the Focus will outdrive many larger more powerful cars but I want more fun. Cheers from Melbourne
