BT Fleet , Openreach & various other UK utilities still seem to be auctioning off these from time to time & nearly all have a 68 or 70mph limiter, which drives new private owners nuts from what I can tell . No main dealer can remove them despite the girl on reception saying yes no problem I’ve checked with Gordon & that’ll be 100 quid please… Vantuners removal solution on these is a bit long winded & expensive, compared to many other small van solutions, but is effective nonetheless & an optional power or economy tune at little extra cost softens the blow. Model year 2008 on vans seem a little easier than earlier ones thankfully.
I have 2011 corsa eco max rev is 2.5 top speed 70 ,but try to overtake is a night mare.these should be band..this was an ex council van.
Most 2nd owners find limiters extremely frustrating , thats true. Thankfully, most van speed limiters can be removed, like this one can.
Does anyone really know how to get rid of this ,,the best way would be don’t buy them if they have rev limiters ..
Dont buy a van with a limiter ? only top speed is limited not rev’s & some dealers lie & blag to get the sale & few buyers do a full motorway test prior to purchase. Caveat Emptor said the council estate urchin trying to sound posh.
