Yep, it was our V6 he bought. I spent a year fixing every niggle I could find, which did end up costing a small fortune, but at least it's sorted now. We got a bigger van, so couldn't afford to run two.

Definitely a different beast to the diesel. Less grunt low down, but plenty of power higher up the revs for overtaking etc. My favourite thing was the smoothness and quietness and the suspension was much better than our old one. Also had the taller AFT which was cool.

Hope Chris enjoys it for many years to come. =D>
