Got a 650 litre twin system and goes well enough for me ... mpg not too good but when full of water and  2 people with all eqipment suppose getting on for 900KG so cant really moan about mpg ... nice to drive .... size just right for job and good on motorways or buzzing around the streets.

Dual mass flywheel and clutch(nice to know they have been done),fuel injector pump  problems at circa 100k miles,most i have seen for sale seem to advertise the fact they have had new rear springs and a rear brake rebuild,handbrake shoes etc so expect to sort them if they have not been done,handy things to mention when negotiating but then nowadays unless you buy a van new with a warranty you need the purchase price plus £1500 in reserve for fixing.

Brought one of these new in September opted for the more powerful one with the 115 engine instead of the 85, comes with 6 speed box, just clocked up 3000 miles in it and its doing 38 mpg, nice van to drive plenty of power, and plenty of room in the back.

I got a 2.0 litre low roof swb. 55 reg , It gets around 30 mpg if I drive carefully I would say. I have 400 litre tank, another 250 litres in barrels, bench seat in back, roof rack and ladders on. Drives very very well, with surprising amount of power.
Its the smallest they did ( 70 or 75) and I love it.
