it will be made too go wrong, not last and fall to bits.
commercial vans are no more, (as like the last was the di engine and mk5 with a proper commercial long lasting, hard waring engine)
now run pussy poor car engines (like mk 6 -on) now the strong old commercial (van) body has gone, - (on too fail) at the price of british failure and british ££ pockets ££.

:roll: :evil:

Mk5s are lighter than the 6/7 (for the equivilant)... and I don't think ugly is fair, everything ages.

I won't dispute slow (unless its a turbo)
