Hi all .i'd like a few reviews on the above vans if possible .I'm thinking of changing my fiat doblo which is fine but i need a bit more space .had it for 5 years now and it's been brilliant .
I'm thinking the vans from 2007 onward.
Thank you

Did exactly just that last September- sold my Doblo & got a 2010 dispatch. The Doblo served me impeccably, what a great van & I only lost £1750 in value after 4.5 years of flawless service. However...... the dispatch is in a different league in terms of space, usability, convenience etc. Brilliant size van for wfp. I have a 500ltr cube shaped tank in mine & there is still tonnes of space in the back. Twin sliding doors, three seat cab are a big plus. My only concern was the height for putting ladders on/off but with a Rhino delta three bar system & rear roller it's no problem. I haven't looked back since moving up, it's a very positive move. Mine's a 1.6 hdi & it's more than capable. You can hardly tell when there's a full tank on board!!

Great .Thanks .Do you mind telling me what you paid for it and where did you get the tank and frame?

£3750 with 68k miles. no vat. This was a particular bargain though. I have no tank frame, mine is strapped & also wedged in place with thick timber blocks.

I've just brought a 11 plate dispatch 2.0 hdi! I'm having a complete new system fitted next week etc. Although I haven't used it much yet compared to my connect which never let me down! However having a bigger much more modern van is something I'm looking forward too!

Great vans, just make sure you buy the 2 litre hdi, the 1.6 is too sluggish

just a word of warning about the 1.6hdi if buying second hand make shore it has full service history an never skip a oil change as the oil pick up feed pipe are prone to blocking an causing the turbo to seize as it has a fine mesh filter, an make shore the oil is the corect grade its a very good engine but needs lots of tlc oil changes r best every 5/6k not 10/11 k like the book says the 2.0 hdi is a lot less problematic as is the 1.9d

i have the 206 1.9 non turbo not the quickest of vans but a lot less tempramental than the newer ones my brother inlaw is a mechanic up in scotland where alot of the taxi guys use em he says they are a right pain .he told me to stick with my old one bulit proof he says .do the new ones have a, d p filter all the stopping and starting is gonna glog it it up in time unless you take it for a good ruun
