33.4, I'd say that's pretty damned good! I get 24-25 out of mine with mixed driving.Bodsys Brake Bible

Hi judethecat
I have got a commercial XS ordered myself, due September.
What do you think of them, is the back interior finished well. I can find no reviews of them anywhere. Any info or Pics would be nice.
Thanks Rab.

just a little test how fast can you legally go down a dual carriageway (with a national speed limit sign shown) in you're new D3 commercial ?

33.4
You are aware that on the right hand side of the drivers footwell there is a peddle that increases speed - how on earth you get 33.4 beggars belief - well done
I get 23-25mpg with a T.chip - but it's well worth the permagrin D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

New Commercail
Hi,
I too have just got a D3 Commercail XS with a few toys.
You are doing very well to get 33 I only get 26 - but I put that down to the Survivor roof rack and ladders I carry for work.
Regarding the speed limit as it is a car derived van you can legally drive it at all the normal speed limits - the problem only arises when it is a van or a van drevied car.
Also check out the RFL on the Commercail only £180.00 per year.
A vantastic car compared to my old Discovery 2 Commercial
