looking at a small van for wfp for the next few months to a year till i build a big enough work load and save for a larger two man set up but for now just want a 400 - 500 litre setup so i can start changing rounds to wfp lad with me will back pack or trad bottoms for now
 
so i am looking at vauxhall combo or ford connect , fancy combo as they seem cheap to pick up and they have decent payload and power the 1.7 tdi has 100 bhp and 810 kg payload i think

whats your experience with them??

[darren clarke]

i have a dispatch/expert  wish i had bought one sooner,  3 seats, carrys 810 kg  and has got a 400 water in

[Sean Dyer]

that got 3 seats?
sounds good not really looked at them yet

[darren clarke]

i have had transit, escort van and a astra, and prefer the dispatch,  more room and can get the kids in the front   2 side doors, and back doors,   handles great with 400 in the back

If you know you're going for two man and 500L then get the 3 seat HDi Peugeot expert with 900kg payload.

If like me it's one man and 400L then a Doblo is a good 'un.

i have a doblo with two man set up great van

[Sean Dyer]

i will be getting a much bigger van for a proper 2 man set up but for now need small van mainly for one man as i have some wfp work and am turning over parts of round wfp ... 

so just need best bet for 500 l for now

expert looks good

do they pull well with 500 litres

[EZclean]

as long as its Hdi they'll pull everything you can chuck in.
640ibc in mine. only the steepest of steep hills round my way gets it struggling when setting off 1st - 2nd but if your already moving the turbo just takes it easy.

I use a combo - 400 ltr tank (upright)  goes really well and the pols fit inside.

Got 2 doblo's and love them. Nice and easy to get the ladders off the roof when needed too.

They're both 1.3 multijet and don't struggle with a full 400ltr tank

Ditto

That 1.3 turbo is amazing, knocking on 50mpg too with 400ltr in tow!

I have a 1999 Peugeot Expert 1.9TD... Not as good as the HDI engine but it pulls well as its an ex-police van and I think they might have tinkered with it 

I've got a 650Ltr tank in the back.

I have a 1.9 JTD Doblo, twin SLD,  been a great van, you can get them for a good price too if you have a good look around.
