Looking for a new (to me) van and quite like the look of these. I know it won't be a rocket ship but I'll sacrifice that for the space and economy … saying that, on paper power and torque don't look much lower than a 1.9.

Anyone had one, driven one, stolen one, seen one? Opinions welcome.

Cheers

Same engine as they put in the new mini,and badge it as a bmwer

Not the same engine as the Mini. The Mini, IIRC, shares its (1.6), diesel engine with the Ford/Peugeot/Citroens of this world. The first Mini D sourced its engine from the Toyota Yaris.

The 1.3 JTD engine is used in the Fiat (+ Lancia in Europe) cars, plus the current Ford Ka and some Vauxhall/Opel cars.

+ the corsa/combo – I was told my 1.3cdti combo has the JTD engine.

Edit- if it is the same then it will be fine. We use the combo just for mtb duties and is fine.
It will cruise at 75mph (it will do 95 on a private road 😀 )
we also get 500 miles on a tank- £45 to fill up. So unless you are carrying a heavy load then why would you need anything more powerfull?

Weird I know, but I have a Fiat Doblo 1.9 for sale. Only selling it because I came into a bit of money and bought a VW T4 instead.

The Doblo, has got 80k on the clock and timing belt was done at 60k. (does 38-40mpg) Ply-lined and carpeted with steel bulk-head. Roof rack included.(Looking for £1250 ono)

Took it to Morzine last year and it never missed a beat.
I'm in Exeter, Devon. Drop me a line if you are interested.

I thought that said fiat doblo 1.3 mullet, quite disappointed now I must say.

We have one at work, so far :-

Turbos Replaced – 2 off
ECU replaced
Ignition Switch/Barrel replaced
Glow plugs replaced

Constant issues/problems, van is only 3 years old doing an average of 20k pa

It is currently having problems again, not starting in the morning.

We wont be getting anymore Fiat vans.

Cheers folks … as ever, a world of wisdom 😀
