tonight i went to look at a citroen dispatch 04 plate 1.9. I noticed it was running around 70ºC. What do all your vans run at? I thought this was very low running temp.

also this van had 62k on clock but you could move the gear stick around in a circle whils tin gear. this suggest wear on gea rlinkage to me also.

another thing the person selling the van never bothered to check the bonnet clip opened so you could have a look at engine bay  ???

whats the steering wheel and gear gator like?

cos if the are shiny or seats are worn ...steer clear...... mileage might not be correct as the gear bushes should last to at least 100k.

I have got two
both older than your one
they do have some wear and tear but are perfect for one man operatives IMO.
If in doubt put it into your mechanic for the day to give it the once over!!
thats what I do.
