Yeah i tried looking for one but best i could afford was over 10 years old. Theres one for sale at min with 200k miles and they still want about 8.5k for it

 

[michael c]

Dont get it all reviews i can find on the relay and the boxer are great but all the ones on the fiat are terrible! Its the same van, i'm properly confused now

 

[Leo21]

The only reviews worth listening to are from people who have owned and ran them for a few years. New road tests aren't any good, for starters your not buying new.

 

[michael c]

Thats the reviews im trying to find mate apparently they are prone to water on injectors and faulty egr valves but i think they have been recalled to sort

 

[michael c]

Found out the difference between the fiat and the other 2, the fiat uses a different engine hence less reliable

 

[pipefitter]

I had a fiat 'doblo' once ..never again totally unreliable..bought a new transit in 09 have it serviced every 15000 & never had a problem ...touch wood

 

[PlumbersMate]

I've got a Fiat Doblo Michael to be fair it ain't been to bad but now I think head gasket has gone. Literally want to run into the ground and then when it goes dream van is either Transporter or the new Transit Custom.

Clearly you have taste. Could eat them all day

 

[michael c]

Is that delivered mate

 

[PlumbersMate]

Lol have to be collection only, but somewhere about 50 miles from my house so you'll break down before you reach me to get your brush back (Doritos will be gone before you drive off)

 

[michael c]

Haha fair enough mate. Considering auctions now

Our company supplies our vans to us through a lease company, last year they renewed the contract and we all got given brand new 12 plate fiat vans all with about 10 miles on,
brilliant! .. or so we thought!
Fiats have been nothing but grief, auto locking keys inside vans, false oil levels, ignition failure in 2 vans, mechanical engine failure in 1 van and a few arrived with dents from the factory! My personal expeirience is with a Fiat Florinio, which was featured on the
installer monthly magazine, don't belive what they wrote about it and take it from a
up and coming heating engineer, there bloomin terrible!
