Its a recorded failure on the engine and cause it to spit tis guts all over the road. Your maybe ok as its an 2007 plate it probably has the Mercdes 646 engine which is fitted to the Sprinter which is a good solid engine. But i have heard instances of the new 220 with the injector problem and due it its cost to repair MBUK are not very fourth coming about carrying out pre-entive maintenance if you get my meaning. You will probably be fine but thought it would be better to know then not.
any questions PM me.
Nice car mate but word to the wise talk to your local MBUK dealer regarding an injector seal fault on the 220 engines.

kam05 Rolex- thanks for the advice mate- I'll definately mention this to the dealer.
They may try and fob you off mate, don;t let them tell you otherwise iw orked for MBUK and before i left this was amjor problem and they are fully aware. If they say they have not heard tell them it down to leaking injector seals and tell them they need to check their TIPS system where there should be technical documents cataloging it.

Although I do prefer the Merc pull the lever to release method, rather than the push on-push off method that Lexus/Toyota use.

Must admit the footbrake doesn't really bother me in an auto - like how it keeps the centre console clear.
