Post by: ripmateyy on June 10, 2013, 11:16:13 am
Any one had any experience with them? Work is looking at getting me one and I was wondering what they are like?

I have a caddy 2k. Great van and if you get the 75hp one don't worry. It's the same engine as the 102hp engine just de-tuned.

So a remap will bring it up to 140hp :)

Ah fair enough!! We had the older shape 69 with no turbo and it was shocking so was wondering what the newer one was like!

Youll like the new engine, so much better than the old SDi NON turbo.

Yeap, I'm running about in one of the firm's 2012 Caddys, the one with the 70 odd horses under the bonnet.  It might not have been so bad but someone decided to get Bott to retrofit a full steel bulkhead, shoved a load of racking, a safe and a workbench in the back so after I've loaded all my stuff in it must weight nearly as much as the moon which blunts the performance a bit.  The stingy gits also selected no options so I've got wind up windows, no electric mirrors or lumbar support. I'm 5 foot 10 and on longer trips my lower back starts to complain a bit as I can't get the seat in a decent position.  It's not very good off road so if you're carrying anything heavier than boxes of feathers, don't even think about taking it on wet grass! Other than that, it's ace!

I have a 10 plate 104ps one as a works van.
Fully racked out with kit and it still shifts at a good rate.

Nice van much better than the combo/transit connect we have/had.

Also mines poverty spec so no luxurys :( only one I'm overly fussed about is cruise control but as I have lowest model will cost fair amount to fit!
