    I had a tunit plug and play on my TD5 defender many years ago and it caused no end of issues, I removed it in the end. I then had a remap done buy a reputable company but it also caused no end of problems, it used to snap manifold studs regularly due to the heat created by having more power. I won't fiddle about with engines in this way again unless I really need too. I hope yours is ok Stubby.

    you need to upgrade the manifold & studs

    We run a Sprinter and a 7.5 ton DAF LF. 

     

    7.5 tonners are so much better for large takedowns etc, and are just on the edge for Domestic work. sometimes you'll get it on the drive, other times you wont. Another plus is that you can upsize the chipper, and not worry about how it tows when fully loaded,  (hardly notice a 1.5 ton 8inch machine)

     

    The sprinter has been great. Don't worry about the single rear wheel, its got plenty of carrying capacity. All these NPRs, Canters etc with big boy springs and massive bodies are running waaay over weight when loaded up. When brimmed and with 3 guys in, our sprinter is bang on 3.5 ton, and it pulls like a train still. They Drive the best out of all the vans imo, they're reliable, and parts are readily available. worth a look.

    A 2nd for sprinter good payload good to drive & be remapped to 180hp just put dual springs on the rear

    Nice machines overall I was torn but at the time the price was only 2-3k different from a mainstream brand. The 2.6 t machine just wasn’t finished as well is the other Sanys on offer at the time. 
    worth considering now especially they have upped the warrenty included. 
     

    dean and the guys at global have always been good with me in the past but I went for a yanmar sv26 in the end just because of being a mainstream brand and the package offer from local dealer wasn’t much different in the end. The yanmar can’t run a flail so far that’s the only compromise we made.  The yanmar is excellent and surprises us and others what it can handle. 
     

    the eurocomach look like a good option to look at but at the time where not available.
