The 3.2 N/A engine will likely be more reliable than the 2.5T as turbochargers need control systems, vacuum valves etc. which are often the first things to give trouble on an older car. None of that on the 3.2
So N/A in general is always more reliable ? Compared to my current 500 Nm I hope the 320 Nm torque would not be too bad or I would still need to opt for the D5 200 ..... That Californian 3.2 has done 154 K in miles so should not be too bad

@TruckBusUK:
Such a shame as I thought it would be a straight swap of headunits and that would be it, simple as I am ...... Have you heard of anyone who has undertaken that challenge ? Might try and ask some Xenon specialists in Germany and Netherlands too, I think LED dipped beams are still illegal in both UK and Europe
