Post by: Scrimble on January 23, 2009, 06:25:34 pm: i want a combo eventually, not a diesel though a 1.4 16v petrol/lpg, loads cheaper to run
Title: Re: Vauxhall Combo
Post by: NWH on January 23, 2009, 06:49:06 pm: Don`t think you`ll get anywhere near 60mpg with half a ton in the back cos you won`t,more like 40mpg if the truth be known don`t listen to salesman types when there selling.

Malc, its a digi flowmaster, designed by PureFreedom.

Andrew Thompson was telling me about it. They designed it but the manufacturers making them are also selling them to other outlets.

Title: Re: Vauxhall Combo
Post by: Oakley Windows on January 24, 2009, 08:04:35 pm: Dave is your tank just held down with straps?
Title: Re: Vauxhall Combo
Post by: dave.e on January 24, 2009, 08:46:12 pm: hi matt yes the tank is held down with straps at the mo i am going to have a 400lt tank made and it will have a frame round it. ive tried a 400lt upright tank but the filler cap hits the roof so hence having one made.dave
Title: Re: Vauxhall Combo
Post by: dave.e on January 24, 2009, 08:50:40 pm: hi dave0123 the tank is 350lt. the bad point about combo's is the floor slopes towards the back thats why its better to have a upright tank. dave
Title: Re: Vauxhall Combo
Post by: dave0123 on January 24, 2009, 08:53:06 pm: ive got a 400 lit upright in the garden will have to see if it will fit in then first :-\ lol cheers

Post by: collins82002 on January 26, 2009, 08:58:57 pm: I.ve just brought a combo 1.4i whats the ideal tank for it without burning clutch's every week??
Title: Re: Vauxhall Combo
Post by: stuartb on January 26, 2009, 10:58:16 pm: I have a Combo 1.3cdti 55 plate. It NASA pure feedom upright system fitted which works brilliantly. Also have trad gear,one hose reel (only me) and it pulls really well, no problems at all. It does about 92miles on 10 litres of diesel. It's great to work on your own but if I'd gone for a transit connect LWB two people could have worked from a 500 litre tank and a full load with 100kg to spare (almost 1000kg payload compared to combo 825).

But if your on your own the combo is great.
Ps. I find the side door usefull
