I'm not sure if they either push things too far/claim big numbers tbh. Do they map on rollers or do it on the road?He's not far from Darkside tho...

One thing I've seen other tuners have claimed big numbers like up to 240hp out of the bi turbo 2 litre. But according to martin at pendle the injectors are nearly at max duty cycle from factory on 202hp transporter so there isn't much extra power available but they can be smoothed out a lot and a lot better torque delivery.

Just over 20.
3.180 auto on bigger BFG tyres (which actually makes the speedo accurate when compared to gps, so I would assume also calculates mpg accurately). Does quite a bit of towing, and I’d rather crack on than save fuel…

Oh presumably you must mean the crew cab tipper not panel van?

No, single cab but specced the way I want and I'm not talking extras in cab.
At one time I had 4 ivecos on Fleet. I'm now down to 1 tipper and my 10 reg van. They are the only things that last.

They’re very good but I can only warrant paying the premium when there’s not an alternative such as in this case the need to tow 3.5tn which as far as I’m aware they’re the only standard spec’s panel vans that can? I stay clear of Fords though as had too many issues & terrible after sales.

Was always a good thing with ivecos. On the older vans they used to be 2.8t tow on the s class chassis. Lots bought thinking they were 3.5t because the rest of the range was.
You'll not go wrong with an iveco.
Have you gone manual or auto

It costs me an awful lot of dollar for someone who swore an oath to undertake that kind of act & needless to say she’s underperforming, so I didn’t want to be disappointed again!No. Auto is the future. When paying top dosh you want someone to massage your cock n balls
Truth is the van was available & I needed to get it into this tax year & before super tax is withdrawn, I’ve never considered an automatic (partly because of the above) & I won’t be driving it.
