Land Rover 110, best vehicle in the world although long term plan is to get a 130 with a workshop back.

Mercedes Vito swb. Wish I'd gone for the long, but other than that it's been a good van. Would probably fancy a transporter next time unless I can afford a Vito sport x

Transporter t5 2.5 130bhp. Lovely to drive and enough power to make even the steepest hills easy to get up even with lots in the back. Lots of little things keep breaking though like where you grip the door to close it the trim had come off both sides. cup holder broken, little thing on top of the gearstick with all the numbers has also fallen off.
Mfgs how many miles do you get out of a full tank ?
Revo is the one to go for , just google it and ring local dealer

this one when i get the sign writing and security sorted.
Transit 07 (mk7 i think?)
110 model, drives really nice actually for a transit, quite refined. Not had it long but it's got 118k on the clock now and drives like new. semi high top so no need for a roof rack unless its for cat ladder which I will have to cross that bridge when I get there!
Goes alright too, hills etc no problem.

r.i.p small van you did him well...
sgi, is there a noticeable difference to the power and the fuel consumption with the remap, i've got a caddy 1.9 tdi 105bhp and was thinking about a remap or tuning box.
Hell yes ! Ever since I did it I have only filled up with shell v power ! And the power is there ready to be used if you were in London would have invited you to take it for a drive ...
Dont expect it to become as fast as Subaru it will. E as powerfully as any let say
audi A3/A4 /golf with 2.0 tdi 140 bhp engine .
I am sure you will love it .if you want to get efficiency on fuel then you have keep revs down and stick to speed limit . There isnot such a thing as going fast and efficient
I do really really enjoy it !

cheers mate, i used to have a passat 2.0 tdi 140bhp, if the remap is on a par with that, then it would be worth doing. as for fuel consumption, i'm only getting around 450 miles per tank full with the caddy & i dont drive it like it's stolen either. it's a dsg gearbox though, so that eats into the fuel consumption.

I have a lwb vivaro.
Best van that I have owned.
With the exception of the transit, it knocks the competition into a cocked hat.

Mines a lwb transit med roof 90 t350......goes like a shed on wheels up hill but superb downhill!!! Had it for 4 years and it's never let me down.....although I only get 350 to the tank....thought about downsizing but would really miss the space..
