Title: Citroen Dispatch 1200 HDi 90 van
Post by: andyM on August 07, 2013, 05:25:45 pm
Im looking for another van and have looked at a 2010 1.6 Dispatch today.
Just wondering if there are any users of this particular van on here, and what you think of it?
Good or bad, reliable?

I have a 2007 with a 650 litre tank fitted have been driving it for over 4 years with no
problems.
Replaced tyres and brake pads and one oil change.
Easy on fuel.
If I had to change my van tomorrow I would get the same.

That's good to hear John.
I must admit im thinking of going back to the dealer tomorrow and having it.
I also looked at a vivaro earlier but the engine 1.9 cdti sounded a bit clattery.
The dispatch seemed miles better and only 28,000 miles on the clock.  :)

I had a dispatch for six months, it had 30k miles on it and
It spent more time having niggly thinks fixed than working.
Prob more to do with dealer than car but I don't think I will buy
Another, but lots of people swear by them.
Wipers packed in
Horn didn't work
Radio didn't work
Heater didn't work
Clutch was knackered
Peddles to close together if you have size 11 shoes( not a van fault I know)
Engine was ok though :-) 500 litre tank
I got so fed up with having not working I replace with a 20kmile transit.
 Think most vans are pretty good now not much in them.
Had no probs with that.

Very true about the pedals being close together.
Im size 9 shoe but did find the pedals a bit awkward, and handbrake is on r/h side?!
