Post subject:  My new Vito Euro 5
Picked it up last Friday.

Its a nice drive, very quiet, quite powerful but seems to be a lot better on fuel with my first shifts returning about 34 mpg. The RWS seems smoother although I've unplugged it until ALL the upgrades by One80 are complete, and (at last) I have an intercom that doesn't act like a mobile phone receiver. =D>

Bad points so far.

Its too expensive at £43K!

The roof pod rattles (booked in for Fri)

Some clowns come up with the idea that the rear doors unlock when you stop and take your foot of the brake. WTF?!
Only a non driver could have thought of that as an improvement on the Euro4 version. Dangerous.

The seatbelt has a warning chime if you don't plug it in. Another great idea for a taxi in inner city London . . . :roll:

Time will tell, like the last thread on the Euro 4 vito, I'll update it as and when things go wrong or right.

How do they expect anyone in the provinces to pay that? :sad:

After buying the thing have you enough left in the pot to buy one of these?

Get it plugged in to a comp and you can turn off the seat belt warning, or go to the bottom of the seat belt buckle and you will find a wire, on this wire there will be a plug, just unplug the 2 ends

Alegidly the Nissan will be out this month at £26,000 :mrgreen:

Along with many others Nissan have a wide bore hose directly connected to "Chez Skippys". At regular intervals they load their end with various bits of manure and they then apply a high pressure air pump and send the 5hit straight to Skippy.

Skippy then picks through the result and, using TDO as the fan, chucks the 5hit at it.

It happens from time to time......

Did you look at the new TX mate? They haven't changed the engine but have come up with some bollox about the cooling mixture being a 50/50 mix to avoid any issues.
