cathrobinson Feb 2021 3:04pm, 20 Feb 2021 9,123 posts	0 cathrobinson If it’s the 1.9 84bhp engine, that’s what Nic has in her T5 and she had that remapped. The only thing I will say is those engines are renowned for spewing out white smoke in cold weather. Hers has done that for years and not really been any trouble.

At first I thought that the lack of Pop top roof would not be an issue, but then someone mentioned using the space to stand and cook. I'm considering making the guy a lower offer so then I can have the roof done later.

Angus Clydesdale Feb 2021 3:53pm, 20 Feb 2021 21,942 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale I would definitely be thinking about making a lower offer, if only because it feels like it's a wee bit over-priced. Citing the lack of pop-top might be a useful bargaining chip. That said, there seems to be a bit of a sellers' market out there at the moment.

Reiver Feb 2021 7:41am, 22 Feb 2021 867 posts	0 Reiver RR My T5 was the 84 bhp version but as the company had sourced the basic van, I was able to have the remap done during the conversion. Nobody has even been 'upstairs' in our poptop, but it's an investment for the future when we decide to sell and as others have noted, it's great to have the headroom for cooking etc.

It has some work waiting to be done under warranty so we're taking it to the garage 25 miles away. We were going to cancel but they insisted that we are fine to travel for this purpose. It will be nice just to get out in it for a trip, even if it is only to the next town.
