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
