Just to follow up, I've done around 250-300 miles now and I've now got to the point where I'm used to the difference! (you know that feeling when you get a new motor and it feels quick for the first two weeks until you get used to it!). It's only when I glance at the speedo that I am reminded sometimes! Can't help thinking 'is it really developing 195bhp?'... not enough to actually pay to find out though!

MPG seems to have improved marginally - from about 40mpg to 42 at the moment. I guess that's not bad considering I've been 'testing' the Spider now and then.

Noticed a lot of diesel smoke from the rear when pushing hard in second when it's still warming up - but I couldn't say for sure that it didn't used to do that anyway.
