Vito 115 (long), Dec 2006 reg, 115k miles (geniune)
I've put this in the engine catagory but only as I believe it to be rev related.
So far I've changed the wheels and they have good tyres.
New engine and gearbox mounts (all 3)
Replaced prop shaft bearings (both), front uj a little clicky but to my mind not an issue.
Because I do when I get a new vehicle it's had a full engine service, oil, all filters and aux belt.
1 faulty glow plug, so changed all.
Replaced ATF (over 7 litres) sump cleaned, new filter, new gasket, replaced pilot bush. The 1st gearbox service it's had.
Nearside rear spring broken and replaced with one I had handy, other springs in good order.
Unusual for my experience but the revs are constant, no slippage, and no vibes around the 1,800 - 2,000 revs.
Smooth changes but as I am familiar with is the over revving tendancy, especially 1st and 2nd gears.
Pretty poor vibes at purchase improved by new wheels & tyres.
Droning at 60 ish, improved by new prop bearings.
Now there are some gentle vibes that feel revs related. Fairly consistant but possibly affected by torque, around 1,400 revs.
I have one thought but would be interested if others have thoughts from experience.
