Berlingo`s are car derived and as such can do 70 where applicable.

An LPG conversion is still probably worth looking at. Even diesel`s can run on it now For reference http://www.gaspoweruk.co.uk/v3/diesellpgbifuel/diesellpgbifuel.html

4 x 4 types "Crew cab" the Ford/Mazda Rangers and similar were pulled out of their tax bracket a few years ago so would incur a "Tax" as company cars IIRC but at a fixed lower rate. But not had mine for a while now so again DVLA/Tax/IR would be the best bet. Although decent car magazines do now give the cars taxable rate.

its not that simple, there are 2 weights

old shape 600's & 800's

new shape 625's & 825's

the higher weight grosses over 2 ton therefore lower speed limits

Ahh fairy muff, if they have changed weights.

they've always offered 2 weights, however there rarely marked up with badges like the ford escort van once was (55 & 75 ring a bell)

Yep

I assume plod must be using ANPR tied in with speed cam to know whether two identical looking vans are breaking the two speed different limit according to weight ?

That's a big leap of faith...

My "yep" was about the 5/65 Essies.

Never knew they did two Berlingos, but then again I didnt buy them

You never know I may have been driving them over the limit !! Of course not intemtional!

Doubt ANPR is on most cams. Only people I know pulled for this were always done by a traffic cop.

Looked at the pickup type trucks a company vehicles but they don't fit in city centre multi story car parks and do 30 mpg at best.

Averaging 35mpg in a 5 year old now (bought from new) Navara - mostly town work. I'd still have concerns about gear left in the back though. I'm more 'one plain box of gear and a briefcase' so less of an issue.

That was a major headache for me. I never trusted a van vault. Seen too many unofficially opened!! And the standard/Aftermarket stuff isnt too secure. Was glad to get back to a van.

Liked the pickup though as a vehicle.
