I'm looking at a Nissan NV200. It's a larger small van. Fits 2 pallets in size. Just noticed its a 1.5cc. Does that matter?

For some of us old school, a 1.4 to a 1.6 is just too small for a diesel engine. However, times change and us oldies are incline to stick in the past.

If that's the engine it will work fine. No matter what engine you have, accelerating and driving with a full weight of water on board is always going to be an effort. I know when my Citroen Relay swb 2.0 hdi has a full 650 liters on board.

To see a 1.0 liter engine in a Ford Focus is even more difficult to swallow, trust me.

I would always pay a little more for a low mileage van with a good service history and a known past. I know they are harder to find, but they are out there.

And get the cambelt changed as soon as you buy a new motor

I always do as a lunched engine isn't cheap to replace

 

[Clearview Lee]

Did I get my answer there??lol not sure. Dave....how often do u change the cam belt? I changed mine on the Astra when I got it 8 years ago and not changed it since! Lol

About 60k miles i would reckon as an average depending on make/model but you never know when it was last done so 100k mileage motor could be well overdue

We have a caddy (standard) with a 500 litre tank. When there is two of us working we can't fill it up but it works well for us.

with just 1 of u can u fill it up the the full 500l?

 

[Clearview Lee]

Nice vans the Caddy. Had one previous to my Astra. Lovely looking vans. Smart. Like the height on ur tank too. Mine is low and long, but narrower. Mine is black also without a gauge, so gotta keep sticking my hand in to see how much water I have left!
