Actually, this might be John Coopers old one - which if it is means from memory that it should have uprated suspension and also DPF/EGR delete and remap

yes your right it was mine, remap was done by alfatune ie gus lambro on rolling road it did show 277 bhp evrything works on it as well thats a bunus with these. new brakes all round just before christmas sunroof a bit slow. it dose have few clonks and rattles from the suspension. untill sold i only ever used selnia oil never used a drop in between. for me it was time for it to go. along with my john cooper works countryman i know own a gen 1 john cooper works cooper s as a toy to have some fun, but i will miss the croma great car.
Nice looking car but wouldn't the dpf/egr work make it an MOT fail now or does that only apply to newer cars?

It appears that as the MOT element is a visual inspection it depends on whether the original DPF pipe contents were drilled out or replaced with a straight pipe - and also it seems it depends where you get it tested.

Had my first mot done after dpf removal/ delete remap and egr delete done last week and passed emissions ok, had dpf internals removed leaving original dpf pipe on. Passed mot test, wish I had done this 3 years ago, the car is so much better now. Had it done by Demon Performance in Crewe using a quantum performance remap, approx. 180 bhp now. Highly recommended.
Hi, my remap is quoted as being 240 bhp. I've gutted the DPF and got a modified air box, but not managed to find a rolling road that can test it, because it's auto.
What else have you done to get that much extra out of it? I know the Alfa's can run 300+ but that involves bigger turbo etc.
P.S. Mine has just flown through it's second MOT since the DPF/EGR delete.
