    VW Transporter to a Mercedes Vito Sport ??

    We have owned two Vito 120 Dualiners for just over eight years now, awesome vans to drive, such a lovely smooth engine. Had a remap on mine, now feels smoother (which i didnt think was possible) and more eager through the rev range. had map done on rolling road and gives a very smooth 260 bhp...

    2016 Mercedes Vito Tyres life expectancy?

    i have a 120 Dualiner, was not impressed with the factory fit Goodyears or the next tyres I put on which were Goodyear Efficientgrip. 20,000 miles ago I put on Michelin Agilis 51's, very pleased with them. I have swapped front to back to even out the wear so I always change all four together...

    The Vito 120 V6, The Vito 190 improvement(?) & the Future for the Vito.

    We have two 120 dualiner compacts, one done 100k and the other 55k, they are 2009 so age wise should be looking to change, but there is nothing out there to match the get up and go of the V6 so like others have said we'll be keeping them for a bit longer yet.

    What tyres to fit to Vito 120

    Hi Van Vitesse. After much ringing around and searching on internet I opted for Goodyear Efficient Grip 225/60R16 102V (H rated not available)which were available from our local ATS at sensible money, I could get slightly cheaper on line but didnt think it was worth the effort of getting them...

    Tyre choice ????

    I am just sorting tyres for my 639 Vito, the important bit is the loading, it has to be 102. I only have the 16s on mine, I would like a set of 17s if I am lucky enough to find some. As Bill said insurers need to know about different wheels bein fitted.

    What tyres to fit to Vito 120

    Time to fit new tyres. Size 225/60 R16 102H. Came with Goodyear NCT5 but apparently not available now, I generally prefer Michelin anyway because of the better mileage. I have been ringing around today and got the impression its an odd size tyre and also the Goodyear and Michelin are difficult...

    SKY v Freeview

    Yesterday we got a Humax Freesat box, easy to set up and use and no more subscriptions to sky, actually we cancelled sky some while ago and just made do with the free sky channels. We now get HD as well, much better picture and sound. :thumb:

    Rugby World Cup

    Its not very often England show the same pasion and commitment as the other home nations. Their performance has not been good to watch. I always support England but now they are out I hope Wales beat France to reach the final and you never know they may go all the way.

    Clamping: the other viewpiont

    Its a really good idea but I dont think all ten house owners could agree on costs and how would the electric be paid, also two of the houses are rented so they wouldnt be interested.

    Clamping: the other viewpiont

    We have designated parking, for ten houses so its 20 spaces, its on private land, all properly road marked as as "Private Road" and each space marked "Private" but we often lose our parking spaces to inconsiderate dog owners that use it as we are close to some water meadows, its a good area for...

    Vito. Buying advice sought please.

    I agree with jaymanek the VBH comparison is silly, in the real world the 120 Vito is by far the better choice. The V6 and auto box is a joy, so refined and smooth. I much prefer RWD to the FWD of my previous Vito. We had three 638 Vitos for ten years, they did show signs of rust but no more than...

    dam credit score

    I also heard that the more times your credit rating is looked at it can imply you keep applying for credit, which seems feasible but questionable!!!!

    Vito. Buying advice sought please.

    I have a 59 120 compact comfort dualiner, generally do local running around and get low 20's, on a run I get low 30's. But the smoothness and quietness makes up for the low mpg, oh and it does shift when needed. The single front seats with armrests are very confortable and we find it useful...

    Oil Level after Dealer Service, is this acceptable?

    I contacted Mercedes Customer Service and their response was the same as the dealer, as long as the oil level is between the two marks it okay. But as Bill has just discovered even when oil level is just below the top mark it can expand and give a warning of high oil level, when the engine is...
