Hi everybody 
It's been few months since I bought my first Pathy, 2006 year LE edition with auto transmission and 2.5 dCi engine. It's great rig and as I registered it as a duty vehicle, yearly registration costs are really low (at least in my country).
I started upgrading practically as soon as I got it, changed all liquids, cleaned all sensors, pipes, air intake manifold, carbonized it etc. Popped up some temporary (but still quite nice) DRL, which I wired to switch off during side marker is lit, so it's quite nice lightning effect
Removed EGR actuator rod, remapped ECU and added HHO injection with some sporty-like air filter, so horse stables increased from 174 to 235 HP to render jump start real jump.
With new GoodYear Duratracs 265/70-R17 and partial BullBar with spot light I must say it looks quite nice.
Nice ride to the mountains on a sunny snowy day. Grabs through snow like a tank, just be aware of some hidden obstacles...
...like here, where I drove into 1m (3 feet) of compacted snow bank right into quite deep water trench. Luckily snow plowing tractor just passed by and my kinetic recovery rope lost virginity.
More impressive ride at motocross track threatens to prioritize offroading before sex) My wife hardly awaiting end of snowy season.
Here's my install of HHO injection and sporty air filter...which I do not recommend due to really hissy loudy rattely whisteling turbine sound, like a sneezing lion on viagra after a good meal.
And finally, here's how to log with Pathfinder, hehe
Total weight was just above 4 tone mark (approx. 9000 lb) and despite of really low MPG and still comfortable ride and acceleration, it was like a train when comes to stopping. Pushing brake pedal to the floor made me feel like Flintstones...
