It's limited to 77mph, cost me 2k and does 50+ mpg!! A great little van. i guess it's all swings and roundabouts, my friends 1.7 cdti 52 plate on 170k runs sweet as a nut and hasn't had any problems, whereas my another friend has the 1.7 cdti 52 plate on 80k from royal mail and he had to get rid of it as there were that many problems on it, they have the isuzu engine so they will happily go to 500k miles, they pull well also, which makes me want a van even more to lug about itemsThe Japs have never made a decent Diesel engine yet! never come close, and never will do... pretty much the same deal as buying a French made TV... You just wouldn't go there!Thom

Swings and roundabouts then mate. I had mine in the garage last week because i was convinced that the fuel guage needle was stuck. It turns out there was nothing wrong with the needle, just the van being frugal..
