+1 for the Combo.
Great little van, but also well made. I have owned mine for about a year and a half, The only work i have had done is the break pads.
Mine is the 04 model.

ive had both in the past i loved the connect to drive i had the lx edition loved it

when i first started then had it nicked off driveway, by someone with spare key, system got stolen out of it ended up buying a bigger ionic system second hand which wouldnt fit in so bought vivaro then bought combo as second van

combo taken bit of a rough time few things gone wrong with it but only age type things

both decent and reliable

Bob to be honest mate its probably too late. I want 2K for it but I would need the money here by thursday morning, cash.

The van is 54 reg, it has 110,000 on the clock. Mechanically its great. New cam-belt (18 months), last MOT it needed new bulb, nothing else. It comes with 350 litre two-man setup. Roof-rack, twin pump, twin reels. No R.O.

The engine management light is on, but has been for 18 months now, local garage and AA cant locate fault. Well, there isnt a fault, the light is just on  ;) like I say mechanically its grand.

Its being traded in this Thursday at 4.00 unless I get a better offer.

04 Combo great two and a half years then
Injectors gone
Egr valve
Fuel regulator
Alternator

That was over 2k as the density injectors were not refurbished properly first time round by reputable company, then

Two months on

Head
Gasket and turbo!

Have leased a new van. Much better deal and no depreciation!

ive got a combo. good van really i suppose. the electrics are dodgey though, and i get a lot of water in the footwells which is leaking in from somewhere

Ive had the exact same with my combo leaking water in the passanger side footwell, only after heavy rain though... I know exactually when its going to do it aswell, It does it when turning left up a hill. Must have been a design fault.

Sorry to disappoint you but your rental payments are mainly vehicle depreciation.

Have you tryd draining the water from underneath the window screen, sometimes the drain gets clogged with dirt so thers nowhere for water to go apart from your footwell.
Very easy to fix and worth alook to see if it is
