change down 
the gearbox will be happier too, don't lug around on the torque these vans were designed for engines that rev, low revs does not necessarily mean low fuel consumption, driving with the engine in a happy place is best

Re: 800 deg c EGT!!
Thanks Aidan,the problem with changing down is that the engine is doing 4000rpm for 40mph!
I was wondering if my egt gauge is reading correctly ? and how to check it...
