Also the Touran will have more height in the load space than any estate car. Ian is broadly speaking in the building trade and surely a Touran with the seats removed will be far more practical and more fit for purpose. We should be advising him what we think HE needs best and not what WE would fancy.

Great point Robin about the load height. I will be able to get so much gear in it, hop-ups, all my different boxes, pasting tables, essential Henry Hoover, Brush mate, and all my dust sheets. I'll get one of those rubber inner linings though, otherwise it'll be ruined!

180-185bhp from those 140pd's :happy2:

I've had a couple of 140PD cars and both went like stink after a remap, but both were under 185bhp.

Thanks Hurdy, 180-185 will do then! I remember test driving a Transporter sportline with 170 odd and that went like sh1t of a shovel! And a Touran must be lighter than one of those, especially with all the seats removed!
