Yeh it drives very nicely, and comfortable too. The dashboard told me I was doing 40mpg on the way home, so hopefully economical too!!
Yeh going to get it sign written at some point when funds allow, should look nice all logo'd up :)

Very nice! It would look great sign written. ;)

Aye, thats what I did with the last one. Drilled through the bulkhead. But having already taken the dashboard apart and put it back together today..... :P Gonna go for the easy option. Will buy me some time anyhoo :)

Yeh they are nice. 850kg payload, which is smallish, but I only need a 500 liter system :)

WOW i do hope your joking,that`s never a van for a 500ltr system no way.In nearly all and i mean all vivaros 650ltr is the limit and that`s pushing it and by that i mean full with water poles and you know the rest,who ever told you you could put 500ltrs in that was lying to you i`m afraid.
-
You sayin' I'm fat? :P :P :P
-
You sayin' I'm fat? :P :P :P
lol yeah fat boy ;D ;D,no seriously don`t put a 500 in it you`ll only be able to park it a Dover docks and you`ll go through clutches like there going out of fashion.
-
Always keep gettin told about the pies... :P
Seriously though, cheers for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind :)
-
Well my van is a 750kg and I get a 400 ltr in no problem with weight so an 850kg will be fine with a 500 ltr.
Unless you have ate all the pies ;D ;D ;D
-
i love em when ther new :)
Nick, about time you got a new one lol did you get the omnivac system in the end!

I`ve been looking about on different sites etc over the last couple of days and theres some many more good deals to be had at the moment,far more than in previous years.
-
is this a pug partner or bipper?

Tis the Partner :)

Aye, there are. Mate told me about a deal at VW, Transporters going cheap I think on lease deals. I coulda saved a little bit of cash too if I'd had time to shop around, but I was vanless so, alas. Still a good van though :)
-
500 be fine in there
-
500 be fine in there
Say that to Mike at cleantech.

I`ve never seen so many Transporters for sale,130174`s galore.

NWH, no offence, but 500kg is absolutely fine for a 800KG Berlingo.

You could always ring Cleantech,ionics,Brodex,or Omnipole and ask them but the answer will be the same,at the end of the day your asking a tiny van to do a big vans job and that`s also no offense.
-
Aye, well, its all good stuff in the end. No need to argue eh fellas :)
-
i got the older pug partner with 800kg load with 400 tank in and all my stuff, goes fine
-
Top van, 500ltr WILL be absolutely fine mate. ;)
Tony
-
If you don't mind me asking what was the OTR price of that partner?

Around £13500 with VAT. That was direct from Peugeot though, I'm sure it'll come down in the year or so to come.
-
Love the new van, must make you really keen to do the job, which is a major benefit.

Aye, it does.... got pretty soul destroyin' with the last van, was rusting and leaking oil and all sorts.... not much fun to get into in the morning! Makes me feel loads better about my business and my image :)
-
£13500 for a partner is 2 much and of the day it is a small van i only paid £11000 for my ex demo 6 monts old 5000k on the clock top of the range dispatch much bigger and better

Nice of ya to rain on my parade mate... cheers.
Well I'm happy with it. Plenty of space. Plenty of payload. Nice engine.

It dosen`t have much room though and IMO that`s important with WFP,giving a view on a van is not a personal attack on you it`s just an opinion.I looked at 1 just out of interest not with the view to buy 1 everyone was talking about it so i had a look,they wasn`t big enough before and there not now.
-
If I would do it again I probably wouldn't have a Berlingo/Partner. They are a very tight fit with all the tools in it. But for traditional it's fantastic! :)
-
Fair enough... but how much stuff are you guys carrying around? My last van was a Partner and had plenty of room, this is even bigger and has more payload.... it works for me :)
-
I have dispatch with 600 litre tank and 900 kg payload.
Took to weighbridge with full tank of water and trad gear and had 30 kg to spare. (Only had 1/3 tank of fuel though). So 500 litres with 850 kg payload will probably be OK unless you carry a passenger.

Thanks for that :) Have added up weights of everything and they seem to leave me about 100kg spare, probably won't fill the 500ltr up full though, just gives me the extra capacity if needs be.
Well... just finished my first days work with it, tis a pleasure to work with :):) The engine is so quiet, powerful and smooth, I actually looked forward to getting back in after my jobs! Sad I know :P The HDi engine is really good, even fully loaded up with 400liters, all my trad gear, pole, reel etc it still drove like it was empty :):)
-
just found out 1 liter of water weighs 1kg so work it out ??
