what are they like pulling the weight i've got a 350l upright to wedge in it?
-
Iv got the 1.9 d (non turbo) and thats got just about enough power to pull me and my ladders :'( but only heard good things about the multijet!

I've got a 56 plate 1.3 diesel multijet doblo - had it from new with a 400L on board. The side doors are really useful.
It is plenty fast/powerful enough and returns 40/50 mpg according to its computer. Your 1.9 should really fly and has extra grunt. (Watch out for van speed limits on it though!)

Is that miles per gallon when the van is fully loaded?

Brilliant little vans by all accounts.

WHAT ARE THE VAN SPEED LIMITS? im not too worried at the mo ,as my peugeot partner is a slow old crate and it would almost be a compliment to get a speeding ticket
but when i replace it i want something more normal ,a Doblo car went sailing past me tother day , it must have been doing 80 odd , easy . looked a bit high to slide ladders on and off maybe

ive a 1.3 multijet 08 plate from new 400lt tank in the back, great van will hopefully be getting the new shape lwb soon ;D ;D
-
keep oiling the back doors
hinges seize up and door comes off in your hands! had a doblo 54 plate since new let me down one
day;in all that time;
only needed a new battery

I've got an '07 1.3 multijet, it was bought in a rush & wasn't my first choice BUT I can say it's the best van I've had by far!
400ltr tank no problem, fit both my 25ft slx & 48ft Xtreme in the back with a bulkhead too.
That 1250cc turbo D engine is a real cracker, had it over a year and it still amazes me when the turbo kicks in!! ;D
50mpg fully loaded if you drive steady, 45mpg if you don't care. 2 sliding doors & loads of room in the back, really nice cab also. ;)

Van speed limits - (non-car derived van and/or over 2000kg all up manufacturer's design weight)
Motorway 70
Nat spd lmt Dual Cway 60
Single Cway 50
Van speed limits (car derived van up to and including 2000kg all up mdw)
Same as a car
Here's the kicker:-
The Doblo 1.3 multijet 56 plate at 2000kg car derived is car speeds
The Doblo 1.9 multijet 56 plate at 2025kg car derived is van speeds

picked it up today and gotta say im well impressed with it, dont know what the 1.3 is like never driven one in a doblo but gotta say the 1.9 multijet is rapido!!
