Mercedes Benz 2.7L TD5.
And it will pull that fully loaded van down the expressway at 82mph (governed) without breaking a sweat, even with 164k on her.

I can tell you they will go a LOT faster than that, overhere if your on the motorway in the fast lane doing a 100mph (not in Disco btw) , if theres a white van up ya ***!!!, its ALWAYS a sprinter, they fly!!

Yeah I am waiting for the used ones to come down in price. New family cruiser that gets close to 30 MPG. Now that is a perfect world.

I challenge you guys to find this kind of help on any of the other forums. I just don't think you'll find it. That's why this is my favorite forum and why I keep coming back even though I currently don't have a Rover.

Good luck in your hunt UP. I may have a contact in Denver who would be willing to help expedite the process if necessary. If I were still in Denver I would pick up the bumper and ship it myself.

Yeah I know the van would go faster, with a 5 speed auto gear box the final drive ratio is up there.
But it is governed to 82, but since my speedo is off it will actually only do 78mph LOL.
But I do get 22mpg as a delivery van, my Ford got 10mpg.
