Ive had a 2008 115 vito sport from new. Average mpg from new is 27mpg. It is the worst van i have ever had. Its had £8k spent on warranty work. Bought new for £25k. After 3 year offered £8k to px against others.. Just going to keep running it until it stops. Had a trafic before this which my mate bought and it is still quieter than my vito.

I don't know if i am having the same problem as the post 'clutch cleaning' but since changing my oil on my TXT Pro 280 the clutch is dragging. It has always slightly dragged but now with the clutch pulled fully in with the bike in gear, you need to hold on quite a bit to stop the bike riding off. I tried adjusting the lever slightly with no luck. So i removed the fluid resevoir cover (which didn't seem to be sealing very well) but could'nt see any fluid. How much should be in there and what type? The manual i have simply says to check the level! Thanks in advance for any advice. neil

I have recently noticed a knocking noise on my 02 280pro (which i now know it is due to txt/pro differences discussion). It appears when the engine is revved faily high then the throttle is shut off. The shop i bought it from said it sounds as if it is running lean. I adjusted the carb and the noise died down but the engine kept stalling. The noise appeared to be coming back when the bike eventually stopped due to being out of fuel. Another rider said his Gas Gas used to make a similar noise when it was running low on fuel. Anybody else had a similar experience? Cheers Neil

What is the difference between a txt and a pro? I am totally new to trials and have recently bought a gasgas 280 which i thought was a txt pro. But reading the posts it looks like these are different bikes. The bike seems spot on but anything would with my standard of riding. Cheers Neil
