reply to CUBBY: I converted my vito myself .got the side window glass which included internal trims from mercedes in bolton .then got a brand new set of seats from van parts in openshaw got a local mechanic to fit the seats and a windscreen firm to fit the glass.did it all for about 6oo quid .even got some cord carpet to finish it off .nowi can get 5 people in and my bike (put it in backwards first in through side door) perfect. doing it this way it you can have it exactlythe way you want it. p.s.dont forget to tell your insurance company about the extra seats!

i think the engine size is the same on all vito models.2.2ltr. the numbers relate to bhp. i.e 108 is 88bhp 110 is 100bhp and 112 is 120 bhp.i,ve been told this by several people.i,ve got a 108cdi which is fine but i would like a little more power on the motorway ,just in the process of finding out how much to get the ecu remapped to 120bhp.i,ve been told about 300 quid ish which seems cheaper than buying a 112.hope this helps

best van i,ve had .go for the 110 or 112 if you can .mines a 108 cdi could do with a little bit more.spoke to a guy the other day with a brand new 109 ,hes on his 3rd gear box ,ignition key feel in through dash board he wasn,t happy at all with it.no had anything major problems with mine just the usual wear and tear stuff.parts seem about the same as most other vans i,ve had .

thanks for your help . i,ve had my bike in pieces tonight and found that the clutch hub retaining nut was loose.this meant that the clutch push rod had no where to go when i pulled the cluch in .i will have to ride my bike now to see if this has cured problem fingers crossed.......

been out on my bike today,after a while i noticed my clutch lever getting really hard to pull in,eventually i couldn,t pull the clutch in enough to stop the bike or change gear.when i got the bike home i bled the clutch this seemed to free the lever up but after pulling the lever in a few times it goes back to being really difficult to pull in and will only move half an inch or so .any help would be gratefully received.

same thing happened on my 03 sherco 200.throttle jamed open then bike died.couldn,t get it started turned out it was the woodruff key,which had snapped in half

my bike is long overdue new chain and sprockets,can anyone tell me which are the best ones to use and how many teeth either end do you recommend? thanks in advance for your help

hi big chick,ended up pushing the bike over a fence and dragging it round the lake ,left it there and went back for the van.all good fun .did i sleep sat night.put the bike upside down and got about a pint of sludge out of the engine .dryed it out with the hairdryer started 3rd kick .got it booked in for someone to have a look at it.thanks for asking......... you should take your son up to the quarry at edgeworth seen a few` young lads up there its quite good

i went it was my first trial,but my bike broke down half way round 2nd lap .got a cylinder full of water.hardly suprising there was plenty knocking about.still really enjoyed it .i am definately gonna have another go once i get my bike sorted.

where did you get the graphics from adam,i need some for my bike don,t know where to buy them from

what am i doing wrong it won,t let me post my picture????

after riding my bike 3 to 4 hours at a time whatsort of maintainance should i be doing apart from washing it down? i usually wash and oil the air filter,drain the carb float bowl and check the plug looks ok! it this ok ,not enough or too much .any help would be welcome as pushing my bike back home a few miles is something i could do without

will have to sort it out .looks like new chain and sprockets to be on the safe side.thanks for your help

thanks for that might be easier to buy a new chain.only had the bike a couple of months don,t know when it was last changed

took the chain off my sherco 200 due to it being fully adjusted up and chain stiil a bit loose.had a link taken out of chain now the chain is adjusted to number 2 on cams but seems a bit too tight.theres about 10-15 mm of up and down play on chain .is this correct????
