Hello I'm now proud owner of fiat doblo cargo multijet.

Looking to get roof bars, can anyone recommend a link online?

Also what do you have 2 or 3 bars on your roof?

Oh and easy it easy enough to install the yourself?

Thanks and happy new year!

[Slash]

I recommend van guard

[harry willett]

I got mine off ebay from memory 3 bars in total east to fit just make sure you put the right bracket in the right place as the roof slopes and the brackets are different  sizes

[P @ F]

Did you get it from the same place that was selling the older red Combo ? 

[P @ F]

Vanguard Ultibars are the mutts nutts .

Which ever you choose make sure you get a rear roller bar if you intend carrying ladders.

I've got Rhino Roof Bars on my van with an added rear roller.
The roller seemed a good idea at the time, but I never feel the need to use it, and just lift the ladder off from the side of the van.

Roller bars are for short ar5e5  especially on a Fiat Doblo hahaha

You might be taller than me but I wouldn't be without one.

I always have bar end stoppers fitted which add another 6" on to lift over. This means that I don't use ladder clamps at all- just 2 bungees.👍much easier and quicker.

Hi P@F ...glad to see someone's reading with interest 

I got doblo from somewhere else; Vanwise franchise in Harlow was impressed with there stock, tbh I didn't think they'd have anything in my price range.

Most stock started from £7000 + vat
Sales man said they move about 150 vans a week.

I went to view red combo van at another site but felt it was a cowboy outfit set out on old nursery.

You had to make an appointment as owner met you at yard

He did have some nice vans but not well presented dotted around site which resembled the surface of the moon😁

P@f can you help? Turning on headlights?

There's only 2 settings dipped main beam or main beam.

I can't seem to work out side lights you know ones for dusk or driving about on gloomy days.

Hope that makes sense?
Know your van is different model but fiat.

Thanks lee

[P @ F]

On mine i have 2 clicks if you like , on the left stalk , 1 is side lights , 2 is main lights , and pull backwards for main beam (dazzle)
pull it again to go back to dipped beam , what planet did you say you came from 

Wait till you start getting annoyed with the doors auto locking when you drive off !!
Then you got follow me home mode on the lights , freaked me out when i did it by accident !

Vanwise it's not that the big place near the BP garage at the M11 roundabout in Harlow I hope ?
I know 2 people who have had vans from there, both were nothing but trouble after the first month.
































Only Kidding  they were both good runners and were very happy with them.

[lee_dewing]

P@f maybe I'm just silly 

On left stalk turn dial once dipped main beam.
(normal night time lights, push stalk forwards main beam, pull stalk backwards to flash).

Will muck about with it tomorrow.

Oh yeh rear light in cargo bay doesn't come on, see in user manual something to do with key button in cabin has something to do with that??

Thanks
Ps yes not discovered home lights but read in manual 

[lee_dewing]

[lee_dewing]

P1w1,Braintree's nice, went Freeport years ago that's Braintree?

[lee_dewing]

yeah used to go to the sun pub as well in the summer down the road from the black swan, those were the days no wife and no kids 
Back on topic  ive been searching for bits over the last few weeks ready for when i get the van as for roof bars i will be getting them from van guard as already mentioned they seem about best price for what you get and you get the free ladder stops as well.

[Darren70]

Hi Lee   Good to see you have sorted the new van out,
 forget the roof bars use  a telescopic ladder in the back of the van.
 If you only use them for gates and the odd flat roof.
 I will look out for you in the new van.

[lee_dewing]

👍 Hi Darran

[Scrimble]

To put side lights on you turn day time running lights on in the menu, follow me home lights you turn ignition off and pull left stalk towards yourself to select how long you want them on for

[lee_dewing]

THANKS SCIMBLE. Is it me or does that seem complicated?

Why nit have one more twist on stalk like my other van cars I've had 

[Scrimble]

because it is Italian and the law over there is to drive with your lights on during the day

[P @ F]

Cos you got a cheapie 

Mine has side lights on stalk and stop start 

[P @ F]

Oh and the cargo light should be a rocker light , 3 settings ,  mine goes one way for off and the other for on , in the middle for when doors open the light comes on , the lights are on a time delay also , once you have opened the door it should switch itself off after a time to save battery .

[lee_dewing]

Cos you got a cheapie 

Mine has side lights on stalk and stop start 

Yep probably 
Mind you, you can keep the start stop technology 

[lee_dewing]

P@F  so if wanted you can leave cargo light in an off position and won't come on at all the?


Thanks lee

Yes , mine is set like that , if i need light i switch it on manualy .

[P @ F]

Mine has stop start , never really wanted it , so was the last thing i thought to check when i got the van ,
I then thought i would give it a whirl and it wouldnt work , read the book and still couldnt get it going , thats when i found out that some crafty tawt had swapped the battery for a standard at some point !!!

Hey ho , all it does is age the starter and flywheel anyway
