Post by: deeege on March 23, 2015, 06:46:04 am: I have a new berlingo with a 450 tank. It's a 2 man set up but if I'm being honest it's not great working with 2, a touch cramped. Only use it as a 2 man occasionally though.

It pulls the 450 litres no problems, great little van.

i have a connect t230 LWB with a 500L tank.I put in £60 a month diesel.it pulls really well even first thing in the morning with a full tank.i do very little mileage though so fuel costs not an issue for me.

Hi

It's a 64 plate, brand new, it's tge 1.6d engine, enterprise model so slightly upgraded brakes and suspension I beleive.

It really pulls 450 litres no problem at all, a very comfortable drive too.

45 mpg over the 5000 miles it has done so far.

How can a 64 plate be 2 years old? It can be 6 months old maximum.
