Count yourselves lucky, my 60bhp Kangoo feels desperately slow even in the depths of winter, can barely get away from its own shadow in this heat!  :grin:

4 years, 110k miles and every one on the limiter and apart from an outrageous thirst for discs and pads (60 horses plus 1800kg = only slowing at the last nano second) it's never missed a beat, so much for cheap French cars eh?  :happy2:

French diesels have always been excellent tbh.

WMI really is awesome in the summer months. Air intake temps showing 10ºc below ambient with little to no drop in performance for me  :smiley:
