Anyone got a Vauxhall Combo,Im looking at a 1.7 tdi later(W reg 60,000 miles he wants £1500 ono),will they legally hold a 400l tank.I've gone off the idea of 1000l static,and want a van that can hold 400l...that should do...also looking at a berlingo later too....

Thanks

Combo with 60000k on the clock for 1500 is good compared to a lot I've seen. even without the system in

[Mike_G]

Some of those old shape combo can carry 775 kg, if it is a combo 775 then it would not be a problem. The others have a limit of 565kg so a 400 litre tank would be a little bit to much by the time you added up the weight of the tank itself plus water a full fuel tank and your own weight.

You'll regret it in such a small van.
It'll handle like a banana.

I had 400L in an Escort van which is the same or greater payload.
It was wallowing all over the place and didn't want to stop.

Get something that can accept double what you need.
Also it allows for expansion.

Don`t put 400ltrs in that vauxhall,it`ll handle like a boat with no rudder.

[SonOfFormby]

Dam,i'll have to hope it's the bigger payload.

Hey Squeaky......Did you see the match last night?

Lee

[NWH]

Don`t worry about the payload get another van,there rust buckets.

[SonOfFormby]

really...what about the berlingo,Im running on short time,I gotta get the van, protecta-kote it and install WFP system,ready to roll Monday!!!!!

400 ltrs in a combo seems far too much . at the most 250ltrs would be ok in a baffeld tank .

[Mike_G]

Berlingo is about the same as combo. Two versions one is about a 600 payload and the other is 800kg

[NWH]

Ignore the payload in these smaller vans,drive them with 400ltrs in them with your ladder and trad gear and you`ll know what i`m saying,you might aswell put a sticker on the side saying STENNA.

[dave0123]

Theres to versons of the combo too one with payload of 595kg and one at 743kg

Both new shapes

[NWH]

Dave forget the payloads,just drive them with this weight in them.

[dave0123]

i understand that. just saying that here is too verssions of playload someone said there is only 565kg which there isnt .

Dave

[SonOfFormby]

Dam that combo was a rust bucket,and the berlingo looked too small!! tomorrow = Doblo 1.9  52 plate 58,000 miles £3495 NO VAT from a dealer.Im ready for ya Squeaky : and a VW caddy X reg 1.9 tdi  130,000 miles new MOT £1995 NO VAT from a dealer.

Hey Squeaky......Did you see the match last night?

What match?

Like NWH said, don't worry about payloads, you just don't want a big weight of water in a small van.

[SonOfFormby]

Quote What match?


Err dunno

What match?

Like NWH said, don't worry about payloads, you just don't want a big weight of water in a small van.

So does that count out the Doblo aswell then? These all have 730KG payload right ???Also, as I said I only have £1500 worth of business at mo,with growth to come (hopefully).I know it's inevitable to go large eventually,but I am on a budget, and handed my notice in last week,so need to start Monday really

Lee

[NWH]

If you must go for a smaller van than get a flat tank,lower center of gravity and all that.

[SonOfFormby]

I thought all Doblos had 730 KG payload, now I see they range from 605KG to 740KG, which is gonna make buying USED more difficult!!
