Cheers Guys, I figured the PCM problem, over here we can have something called a Unichip which splices into the PCM loom and enables the engine to be re-mapped.
I am thinking about a Level 10 tranny, although they do not seem to have a UK agent. Ouch all that shipping.
As for Tranny coolers, the V6 over here has two already, the one that circulates around the radiator and then an oil to air one in the return line. Does the US variant have the second cooler?
Also as std we have the SVT engine oil cooler, which I beleive is not fitted on "normal" Duratecs in the USA. Why when the USA is hotter in summer than here???
Thanks for confirming my thoughts and fears....
Paul
