Just a vid of how van pulls this is rolling in third gear and into 4th gear

This is from 30mph in 4th gear only speedo reads exactly correct with sat nav

and the point is?

thats quite a good level of torque? to pull from 30 to 70 in 4th!

In what conditions all we see is speedo, could be downhill, what gear ratios? Pointless really.

Hi, Youthy I'd say it was quite an achievement having never uploaded a video before , and to excuse the leaking fuel "cock"!!!!!

One of the points is there's lots of videos like this on forums , the video showing the road did not load up , 4th gear run was up a slight gradient the return run 3rd to 4th obviously back down at a height of nearly 1,000 ft above sea level ,very Little wind , clear day 3H gearbox running 215/70/16"C ratted tyres ,I would not treat my camper like phil does his but then his cost very little his has the higher ratio box , phil I think the leak may not be where we were first thinking - have left some ply under it ,,,here's a pic showing one wheel n tyre I bought a set of SLK wheels that needed spacers on the front but then Phil spotted what looked to be an identical set for sale not realising they were a different offset and width from a CLK these did not need spacers on the front so we are both running CLK up front and SLK on the rear with just enough clearance on the suspension arm , Will be going down on tyre size once Aiden has a box sorted for me
