iv juswt been offered a sportive2900 2.0 cdti 16v 115 bhp i will be carrying 650 ltr of water does any one use these and would it be ok
-
Don't buy a Vivaro. Ask Gav lammy,me,Rich Fraser and every other poor sod who regretted the day they bought one. Why not a citroen dispatch or Hyuandi or transit connect etc?
-
its not a traffic its a 09 plate vivaro
-
Thats what i said! The vivaro,trafic and primastar are all the same van. If you're close to Southampton tomorrow you can have a go in my Transporter. Burn off a few Saxo's in it,get waved at by surfer dudes and wink at some chicks. Accept no substitutes. :)

they are the same van, the gearbox giving up is a common problem, gav lam's one has gone through 2 turbos and has just blown a head gasket, look for a vito or a transporter if they are in your price range if you want a large van, if you could go smaller the transit connects are good little vans, and you can get a 650l tank in them, but you would be on the limit of the payload
-
i no what your saying and said to my self not to get one but the problem dont lie in the new ones does it i cant see how all these small vans cope with 650 ltrs of water in they as its a lot of wait
-
my transporter will carry 3000 kgs i have a 650 ltr tank and all my kit and i am still under

3000kg???? They don't make a Transporter that carries over 1300kgs. It might tow that weight. 3000kgs is the gross weight of your van,not what it will carry

i will go and check the badge a min

I have got a weigh Certificate here some where
-
Thats the weight of the van, Is it a T26, T28,T30 or T32? That is the load capacity.
-
nothing wrong with a vivario from 05 PLATE UPWARDS
-
T 30 102 tdi
unladen weight 1832 kg
so the total weight i can go to is 3000kg ???
total weight fully loaded with all my kit water/ vac / genny ect is 2860kgs
got the cert to prove it
-
Andy is that a T4 or a T5 out of interest? Luther, Have you got any pics? The T5 has got to be one of the best vans (Drive/build quality/looks/economical, etc). The wifes got a Transporter Shuttle T5 174BHP and it goes like stink and is a lovely drive, whilst I make do with a T4 van.

It's doesn't matter what size the van is as to wether it has the payload, i think the dobilo can carry 700kgs, but it has a1.3 diesel engine, my connect can carry 900kgs and it has a 1.8 diesel, but you can get a transit that can carry 1300kgs, but it only has 75 bhp, so as long as the van has the required payload it will handle that much weight regardless of the size on the van

I think that is the total weight of the van and the load you are carrying, 3000kgs won't be the payload though, you wouldn't be able to put 3 tonne in the back of your van
-
yep you are right luther1
took me a while lol
extra weight i can carry is 1168 kg
the total van must not weight more than 3000kg
I bow down to your Superior knowledge ;D
-
I wouldn't go that far! I just made sure when i bought my Transporter that it would carry all my crap
-
andy
then make sure that you are not over on the axles weights which are
1-1500
2-1625
if you are over your gross weight then you be over your axle weight.
being over on axle weight is one fine for each axle.
and being over on your gross weight is another sperate fine. ;) ;)

I would be interested to hear of anybody with an 05 onwards that has had gearbox trouble.

Chuck the vikans out - that'll save a hundredweight! ;D

Seriously though, these weight limits can be misleading - Citroens for example give a payload of something like 1200kg but they forget to mention that you need to allow for a full tank of fuel, a driver and passenger/s. My Toyota I believe, allows for a full tank of fuel before anything else is added.
Andy, I would think with two passengers and a full fuel load you would be very close to the limit.
Tank with water and boarding - about 700kg?
Two reels full of water 40kg
Extra battery 10kg
Ladders 5kg
Vac 30kg
poles 10kg
full tank of fuel 70kg
Genny 85kg
Bits and bobs 15kg
Thats about 965 kg before anyone climbs aboard

dont do it poole ;D ;D

Just had delivery of a new trafic 2900 swb on contract hire,was considering the transporter but couldnt justify the extra money especially as the new t5's are not that reliable anyway although they do take 1300kg+

I have a vivaro 57 plate 2.0 cdti

payload
if you are unlucky to be pulled on to a weigh bridge by vosa,your total weight must not exced your gross weight.
you could have just 5lts of feul in the tank and carry extra weight in the back,just dont whatever go over gross weight,
-

£15500 for a second hand van? Sounds a lot of money. Does that include part exchange too? What are they new with payments?

Start at the beginning; think it through and don't go off half-cocked. What do you need for everything in your life. Don't rule out an estate car?
-
i used a hatch back car at first and the humbler your vehicle looks the BETTER if you want fresh houses, as my FIAT car raked in no end of work.i had handmade signs stuck in the side windows and folk used to run across the street to chat to me.
i now use a pug partner van (trad) and its way better for the job ,but no where near as good at raking in new work as an oldish but shiney car
-
i looked at estate cars there in the mid 1000-1500 to insure where as a van is 495-800, so it has to be a van.going to ring this astra van up tomora morning if its gone ill have to figure something out thats all. i got windows to do monday from this week just gone :-\
