Re: Hi from North yorkshire

Welcome Griff!
Nice G-Wagen you've got there.
Is it petrol or diesel and manual or auto?

Re: Hi from North yorkshire

Diesel manual 5 speed only thing missing is air con the six cly engine is very quiet smooth and thrifty around 22 mpg around the doors. Not the fastest but keeps up with the pack.

Re: Hi from North yorkshire

Thanks Hus55, Hot66 I live in the Whitby area and have only ever seen one G in the coop car park a LWB blue one. There seems to be allot of G owners in the south not many G sightings reported in the north, I don't go off road as my Gs on road tyres and I don't think there would be much grip think of the embarrassment of getting stuck!!. There is allot of useful information and knowledgeable people on this site, up to date I haven't had any big problems with my G apart from the unusual wear parts. Its done 150000 miles and the engine it very fit (Good compression)
