As title says, I'm on the market for a new van but unsure what to go for.
I want something small that can handle a 500 litre tank. I don't do gutters, jet washing etc so don't need a big van for any extra kit.
Iv currently got a Peugeot expert that has caused me all sorts of problems over the last few years
My budget for a new van is up to 9k all in. Any recommendations?

I've got a new berlingo, the 850kg payload enterprise model. Fitted with a 450 litre tank. Great van, very happy with it. Youd get a belter with your budget.

Fiat Doblo, I used to have the Doblo Maxi, 1000kg payload, twin sliding doors, was a good van, the only issue I had with it was the terrible turning circle.

Thats what I'm looking at citroen berlingo.

Or equivalent Peugeot partner (I think it is? )

Know its not a true 3 seater but could get my 10 year old daughter in
With mrs.

Have a family car but so many times the extra seat in van would have been useful.

I'd never considered the berlingo, thought it had a tiny payload! Will have a look at some, cheers

I do like the look of the doblo maxi, but, its a fiat lol. Such a bad reputation.

ive been looking into changing my van in the near future and like you need a 500 tank for 1 man.

this is what ive looked at and why ive decided against them.

budget similar to yours and been looking at low miles under 2000 miles pre reg / nearly new as seem better value than brand new and one say 4 year old 40000 up its chuff

ford courier ... too small as about 650 payload but ok for 1 man with a 400 tank ... £7500+vat ish
ford connect new shape £9500 to £10500 +vat
Vauxhall combo ... its a rebadged fiat bur can get them within budget
fiat doblo ... cheap as chips but its a fiat

comes down to Peugeot Partner 850 kg model ... if u ok with bog spec then u can get them from about £7500+vat or spend about £8500+vat and u can get latest facelift professional model with aircon / sat nav and Bluetooth phone

[chris turner]

Anyone have the Mercedes citan?
There's a lot of them about on autotrader near me for a good price.

I've got the new shape partner with the 850kg payload and its a great van, plenty of power. I've got a 450 tank installed

Do your poles fit in the back OK?
Also where do you get a 450 litre tank and how do you secure it?
I can only find tank frames for 400 or 500 litre tanks..

Managed to get a Citroen dispatch, 13 plate, 27,000 miles on the clock for only £7400 no vat in the end. Bargain!
