Nice little van that I like the courier though. I had a 1995 mk4 diesel fezza when I was a nipper. It was a great car but non turbo it was slow as feck. Even for an 18 year old I wrote it off ![]() Al |

Yeah, I remember when I joined our company; I was given the oldest sprinter at first. N767 WEF felt like the quickest thing in the world becauase it was the 312D which had more power than our other ones, with standard traction control. Rusty and thrashed to hell, but it went like the clappers! Those early sprinters with the 5 cylinder motors and floor shift gearchanges were great to drive. It was replaced by an 04 plate CDI and I never could get on as well with that dash mounted shifter, the gear change is nicer on the new shape ones, and the 6 speed box makes for relaxed high speed cruising! |
