    Both engines will easily make 75 bhp per litre with a little investment and cruise at 80 on private airfields.

    Both will deliver the best holidays and weekends a family could desire, you'll be welcomed everywhere there's a Vdub in the field and learn to talk shop in your sleep. The wife will become redomesticated and take up old hobbies to make the van "comfortable" and urge you to lash out on van purchases if it stops you sulking and wittering on about "the build". You'll become a master covert operator able to disappear and reappear in the van , qualified with interogation resistance skills the SF teach for deep cover ops.... she'll never know what you've bought or spent EVER!

    Your kids will love you more for acting their age and teaching them about festering and relaxation techniques once you've pitched up.

    It's a win-win-win-win-win Dave! [emoji106]
    I’m sold , where do I sign up

                      I'm sure Dan's missing some marketing tricks and algorithms on this forum .... a 2-tone pink Just-T4s hoodie that states 10(S) in the label but is actually a 14 in size, pitched 2 weeks before Valentines, gift wrapped and card for the day ...

                        Following the tuning guide in the technical section for the 1.9td . Turn the fuel and the boost pressure up and all it costs is your time.

                          Dave take a look at the members build thread section on here , there’s so many inspirational builds , different ideas ,different styles ect , I’ve spent so many hours reading and learning and taking little bits and pieces from individual builds and incorporating them in my own build

                              Different colour / theme each year she'd hopefully love it - the fact you remembered would score reasonable brownie points!

                                I have a 1.9td and a 2.4 soon to be td. The 1.9 has been pepped up and goes like stink! Entirely different donkey to the 2.4. The 1.9 rockets off and has virtually no lag. It’s faster than my brother in laws 998 bored out fast road mini! Which fills him with rage! I prefer the simpler engines myself. Not a fan of ecu’s and sensors. It’s often only ever those that go wrong imo
