Corsa now returned and Berlingo back on the drive. Price of £565 including £20 for the courtesy car seems a bit of a wallet hit but the car's 8 years old and well over 100k miles. They did the water pump too; forgot that for a minute when wondering while 2 units of coolant additive were on the bill.
Still, next time they tell me at service it's due a coolant change I can happily decline.
Coarser was definitely the low grunt version. Acceleration joining the Nene Valley Way, a fast moving free for all, was downright sluggardly; the Berlingo would have shown it a clean pair of heels. Noisy too at 3000rpm.
