Dont buy a 75 then. Get a 90 or 110 and an lx model if poss. O, And if you really want a fast connect get a red one. :roll:

ive had it easy with my van,picked it up of a van dealer local at 5 years old ive had it for 3-4 years in that time ive done 120k it was 50k went bought i did 50k in the first year

ive had to replace the throttle pedal twice,total cost £120,£60 a pop form ford. the original back box went replaced that for about £40
and last winter the battery

they dont suffer rust,fuel isint the best but if you drive it like a van rather than a car its fine

if i had my time again if there was a van as good as this with a 90 or 110 id of bought it but ive had no probs with this as a 75 and its been even better with de-cat,egr blank,filter and air feed.i got van tunner to remap it just over an year ago and it now goes like stink with no probs at all fuel is better aswel


if they put a vw badge on them in the factory these would be the worlds best selling vans.......
