Your opinions on this van please

Ya would probably get £200 on a weigh in on that van.
Dispatch or the peugeot equivalent is what you want to be looking for

quality what do you drive? The Dispatch looks good value compared to some others.

[armyash]

looks like its led a hard life but could still be a good buy,if its near you it may be worth a look,things to look out for on the hdi,you want to see the engine stone cold,grab the hoses that feed the rad,they should not be hard/under pressure if they are walk away but if they are soft thats a good start,it should start instantly from cold if it dont the starters shot,and it should go into gear easily and pull like a train,if the side doors dont shut properly thats normal they just need adjusting and the door locks wear out quick but are cheap to replace

i got the 1.9 diesel.. very sluggish, dosn't go past 60mph very often

I,ve got the diesel as well , but the locks are poor , if you get one of these you must get dead locks fitted

Gasman has been had with engine problems on these and he is correct on what he suggests, also the gearbox can cause fault, accelerate hard in first gear then foot of all pedals it should glide to a smooth stop if it don't then the gearbox is on its last legs

Thanks for advice guys, will report back if I go to see it but might be better off looking for something else.

As Resolute above I am looking to get rid of my 05 Citreon Dispatch due to getting a company van again but not sure of the rules on this.
Could a mod advise?

the dead ones wont bother you its the living ones you have to watch:biggrin5:

 

[armyash]

Anyone selling their vans as above, if you PM all details to me i'll give it serious consideration. I have to be able to fit a 125 motocross bike in the back though haha, a Dispatch is probably the smallest I can go.

Thanks in advance, I think I might be more confident buying from someone on the forum - don't ask me why I don't know any of you! haha
