(30 Jul 2016, 11:36 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote From my experience, Any of the Euro 5 Examples ( 09 , 14 and 64 and 15* reg's ) Can reach 65Mph or faster, They don't seem to be Limited to any speed either, Adding that to the fact it has 6 Gears in its Ecolife Gearbox makes it fly.
The older 57 Reg batch are Euro 4, And have 5 Speed ZF Ecomat's, They can reach 62mph easy but wont get any faster as the engine revs are simply too high to go any faster.

Only one is off the road for overheating mind  Wink

Haven't got a clue on the VDL Gemini, I'm actually from South Shields.

I've spent quite a bit of time on the 09/64 reg E400's on the X18, and I'm always amazed at how well they perform on it.

Hopefully they can rectify 7517s heat issues, surely it can't be that hard, just check what's different to every other E400...

Didn't intend the Gemini comment for anyone in particular, don't worry Wink
