Re: EliteVw
Well so far all I can say is a big to the elite boys. Very very complimentary about my van, spot on price quoted as well. They said it's very unusual for a van to come in that needed no extra work at all.
Ignition mod done different dizzy and and other bits not sure what mind. Only bad bit is I have to run on petrol for the first 500 miles.
I'm soooooooo pleased right now with her, no more crawling up hills, it's fantastic.
We've just got back as we stayed the night half way home in her, almost 200 miles done already and all seems spot on.

Re: EliteVw
Great to hear! Now the 40yr rolling tax is back, its worth hanging onto them for a few years. New engine should do that. I only got 6 more years to go till no more road tax 
my engine has only done about 3000 miles so far so think he will still be going strong!

EliteVW Put a new engine in for me too.
Engine runs fantastic, only there is a leak on the engine sensor, They said they will come out and change.
I will go back again if i need anything else.

Re: EliteVw
Couple of positives then for Elite via Chris and Gary 
Chris, I see from your sig, yours was a DF, did they put another DF in, or a DG ? (guessing DG because they changed the dizzy).
Keep us informed as to how it goes in the following weeks chaps.

Re: EliteVw
No it's another DF, Mike (I think his name is) said it's something they've developed for the DF so there's no benefit in having a DG and the expense involved. I should have more power and slightly improved mpg. I'll have to wait and see to confirm that once the running in is complete and I'm back on gas.
