I have the 2008 model and 3.0 ltr deisel. from my limited experience driving a large vehicle i expect that anything less than 3.0 ltr for a 4.5 ton van would struggle.

also happy with the van but do have a couple of comments and only minor comments....

the carpet lifts up in the kitchen bedroom area and is seperate to the living area which is great.... however the living area is attached to the cab carpeting... would be better if the cab carpeting was seperate too Sad

the near side side seating also has lovely soft furnishings.... but the cushions keep falling off into the doorstep - minor irritation.... i note that the older models had a small pullout cupboard to stop this - dont know why they got rid of it....

another point is that in my next van id be looking at having enroute heating.... can understand why you can have a vent that works from the cab system in the habitation area so that its aired before arrival.....

finally just got confirmation that the vehicle is only legally allowed to carry one passenger.... although its a 6 berth van........ why is this? maybe if it was pointed out i would have gone for the 665s didnt like the lounge area layout as much - felt hemmed in but it would have allowed me and my two children to travell legally and safely......

Hi we have the March 2008 Bessacar E765P which has a very similar layout to the 665P, It has the 160 engine as we travel near max weight as we are away for quite a time, We find the layout and the storage excellent but feel the 3 litre engine is a must. Have just returned from a 3 month trip covering 10,500 miles, averaged 24.8 mpg.if I remember correctly the 2007 model has a slightly different Fridge/Freezer to the 2008, the gas heater is not to be used whilst the van is in motion where the 2008 can, the auxiliary heater was to my way a bit weak as it depends on the engine water temp to be up but running both heaters at once leaves it a bit short. It is a big van to keep warm when on the move but very comfortable when parked up. You my find that every time you wish to use the reversing camera having to pull down the monitor is time consuming and may obstruct part of the forward vision if having to make a three point turn, but we find the layout perfect for ourselves and our two dogs, and recently had my Son and Daughter in law and two grandchildren for a week. Re the spare wheel we asked Swift very nicely and they gave us one. All in all a very nice van. Good luck
