They seem relatively cheep on the used market. I know a couple on here have used older 1.3 diesels. What’s the max they can carry? Is there a model that would take a 650 tank?
-
I think some on them carry 1000kg!! They have a great payload for their size.

Doblo Maxi, it’s the LWB version and has a 1000kg payload
-
We have one, its had its fair share of electrical gremlins, kept going into limp mode and noone knew what was wrong then the dpf went which was expensive. On balance as they're cheap its been OK
-
I've had two Fiat vans, Doblo and currently Scudo. Both these Fiats are the best vans I've had. Even though the Scudo is fundamentally the same van as my previous Dispatch, it just feels better. It feels more solid, quieter and better put together.

I have two doblo maxi tecnicos.
Away to buy more.
-
I know it’s not a Doblo , I had a scudo but I could never ever buy a fiat again. Electrical problems nearly ruined me financially , I had to get rid of it losing £4 grand in the process
My advice Volkswagen or Ford
-
great vans as long as your happy to get the dpf drilled out and then remap it out cost is about 250ish , then there great now any new van that drops out of warranty of ours is automatic booked into remove the dpf what ever the make is the amount of trouble these dpfs have caused us is insane
-
I thought mot testing can tell if your vehicle hasn't got a dpf
-
Not if done properly ;D
They drop the exhaust so you can not see the weld then remap
Also do Ad blue
-
Oh ok

and some cases theres no need to cut it out , ours are drilled out from the inside so it looks untouched

its also illegal to park on yellow lines but people still do it

Wait wait wait............ what happened to the hiace dave?! Surely it’s got another 300,000 miles left in it.
-
Still got the Hiace but got far too much work!
Family member thinking of starting up. Hoping he can ease my workload as I haven’t taken time out for four years. The business currently runs me rather than the other way around........... and the Hiace still only has 58k on the clock.

If you cut down your hours you ll be more cheerful Dave!👍😄.......
I sold some work a fair few years ago now as I had too much....it was a good move as it allowed me to get round on time,less dirt to clean off the windows and earlier finishes......also it allowed me to condense my work even more into one main area.....
-
I like working in different areas I can’t think of anything worse than parking up for hours reeling out and working non stop,I prefer to do bigger jobs spaced out.
-
I can drive 10 miles to a different job and the sun could be out,the job I’ve just left the weather could have been awful.

Same here but I prefer smaller jobs round the corner from each other. I do a cul de sac of 9 large detached where I’m moving from one drive to the next driveway and find it draining tbh . I like to be in and out before they have time to put the kettle on 😂
-
Makes no difference to people who employ lots of people they love compact work they ain’t cleaning it therefore little time between jobs or money lost,over time everything knits 🧶 together as you pick up stuff nearby.

Good to hear dave.
If I could turn back the clock id have kept my hiace.
It was worth more to me than the £5,000 I got for it. Mine had less than 60,000 miles too I think.
I reckon it’s the last of the bomb proof vans.

i do a mixture of both....but even the driving about,spaced out jobs are only 5-10 mins drive away!most of my work is within a 2 mile, leafy affluent area...

Sometimes it’s nice to go to another Town-Village and do a bit of work I like the variation it breaks it up a bit I don’t get bored tbh I like the freedom.
