Sure Ben I got mine up to 70 with the 1.6.
With Careful planning an open schedule and a clear road and a bit of
a tailwind I managed to do 0-60 in less then 2 days a couple times.

Hmmmmmmmm......


Clearly TomC has been in a 16td stock and/or 1.9td converted ones. I cruised
at 70mph in the 1.6td doka (stock .486 <?> gears). 90mph in the 1.9TD doka
(aircooled trans). Anything above those numbers and the noise gets numbing.
