As said above saw a High Roof Twin Turbo 516 Sprinter, This Sprinter is about 48cm (1/2 yard in old money) longer than our 313CDI. Has single wheels at back not the tandem setup similar to the 413 and double Springs on the rear. A great vehicle and all the additional storage area, eg side steps/dash/roof.

I do not understand the need for a twin Turbo on the same size motor as the 313 ie a 2.19lt. Also not understand that this vehicle has the same Gross Vehicle Mass as our 313, ie 3550kg so in other words it cuts down on your cargo/Motor Home carry capacity (Why did'nt MB make it 4000Kg). Other than this its a great vehicle. Can tow 2000Kg against the 313's 1800Kg.
