Is that an actual 200bhp one though? Merc says it'll do about 130, which is quite frankly verging on ridiculous!

About handling as well, I thought that was one of the best bits of mine!? :? Apart from the harsh ride, the handling and steering and general feel of it was as good as probably most cars you can get these days...

Then how do the even bigger Sprinters constantly blat around at like 95+!? usually only with 110bhp as well?

My Transit was about 4mph out, not too bad! Was great seeing 98mph on the GPS downhill! :D

Maybe this is the reason for the Sprinters eating engines!

He will actually be going faster Val, just now the speedo reads wrong. It's got nothing to do with the size of the wheel either, it's the profile of the tyres.
