your thoughts please ...
my dads mate has a mondeo st but the tdci version, he bought a chip for it for £400 but has fitted it himself.
i think hes a bit of a prat tbh as i would get a tuning specialist to do it but just wanted to know what you think of it?

If he is adept at this sort of thing then it should be okay. If he wanted a fast car why didn't he buy a fast one in the first place?

As for the performance of the 2.2 tdci, it's got one hell of an engine and amazing overtaking ability.

As for the mondeo, depends on what the chip is meant to do, if it's just got an updated map on it then it's possibly just plug and play so you don't need to do anything with it.

There is nothing to fitting a plug and play chip to a car. If you can change the battery in a remote control you can do it, actually mapping a car is a completely different kettle of fish.
