Wasn't sure if I should put this in technical but anyway, what speed do you cruise at on the motorway/A roads, both in terms of efficiency and the limits of your bus?

Il bet he never turns up with oily hands though?Bay-low71 said:Our camping friend Ralphie, is an ex-VW technician from many moons ago and noes the standard 1600 engine like the back of his hand, he has always said 56mph. He's always last to arrive though...![]()

Be interesting to see how it'll cruise with the new engine and 'box though.

This last weekends trip to Belgium saw us cruising at between 50 - 55 mph all day and my oil temp didnt get above 60deg although it wasnt far above freezing most of the time and sometimes was hitting -2degrees abient
On the way home I was not hanging around and pushed the engine a little riding at 60mph at a little over 3k rpm (standard 1600cc sp) and the temp didnt get above 70deg
Whats the max safe sustainable revs?
Im not sure but in the height of summer i will reduce my speed when the temp gets to 100deg

Thought all the big trucks had speed limiters that stopped them going above 56mph.![]()
