    Turning a Touring to Commercial

    Been looking at tourings lately and i need a van for work.

    Love the 325 tds engine

    Looking to convert a 325tds touring into a work van for myself

    Is it possible has it been done?

    As top gear says how hard can it be?

    it can be done. you need an engineers report, ring riverstick motors in cork and they will tell you all the details, you might be better off leaving a garage do it for you or else you will be in and out of the tax office like a yo yo

    I have found the man who bought that car so going to have a chat to him about it. I love tds engines so id have no problem with a 325 tds touring its just i can get so much power from a 530d. Max power i can get from a tds is about 250 300hp. I know of a 330d local that has 300hp with a mild map and no upgrades to anything except a better free flowing exhaust.

    Also a mate of mine is building a 330d drift car so il know what they are capable of.
