    Live data on Diagnostic kit.

    Just be careful if fitting a cooler - they really don't like to run cool either. Early L322s are water cooled which doubles as a heat source so the thermostat can get it up to temp quick and keeps it just over 90. If fitting an aircooler, it can go inline before the factory cooler - definitely not after it. This will allow the factory cooler to regulate. (Assuming the 8 speed is similar)

    I know, was kicking myself for not bringing it along to monitor temps, this being its first outing, and the trip was really hard on tow vehicles...

    Well back home now, the 400km return journey was frought with horrific crosswinds and headwinds, felt like 40 or 50 kmh gusts!!
    Still averaged 13.2/100 (dash) and that equates to 14.7 or thereabouts in the real world. Still did it in 5.25hrs including 1 coffee stop and 3 'rest' stops. (It sure is convenient carrying your own ensuite for those of us with a dodgy bladder..&#128514
    Transmission behaved impeccably, even after a few big hills at stupid speeds and RPM, and lots of lugging at 100kmh in 7th gear into the wind...

    Just loving this. Best tow vehicles these l322.

    First towing trip! I don’t notice the weight of the TVan. But it’s light in comparison.

    Meh, my camper fully loaded barely cracks a tonne. I've only towed a half-tonne trailer into town and back so far with the V8 loungechair. Only knew it was there because of the (annoyingly) revised shift map really. Can see that map being good for heavy towing, but for anything lightweight it's a bit thrashy given the huge low end torque available. Just need to play with the stick a bit to short-shift it. The roofrack will have a much bigger effect methinks...
