Body roll: Mk 1 vs Mk 2

[Northman]

We've now had our current Berlingo, a 2007 HDi 92 Desire, for about 8 months and 8,000 miles. And there is something that is puzzling me. Both I and my wife are pretty sure that body roll is more pronounced than in our previous Berlingo - a Mk 1 2002 1.6 petrol model - which we had for almost 9 years.

Why?

Is it:

a) our imagination
b) body roll is worse on Mk 2 Berlingos compared to Mk 1
c) body roll is worse on diesel Berlingos compared to petrol
d) body roll is worse on cars with a modutop
e) a peculiarity that afflicts this particular vehicle.

I am indeed puzzled. cratch:

I might add that some years ago, some friends of mine got a brand new Mk 2 Berlingo, with an HDi engine. They really didn't like it - felt that it was unstable on the road - which, I suppose, probably means body roll. I was surprised at the time, but with hindsight, I wonder if they are experiencing what we are now feeling.
