I’ve got two of them. The new ones. Both the 1.6. I think they’re great vans. One is 2 years and one is 6 months. I’ve also got a 2.0 new Dispatch. Value for money wise the Customs can’t touch them. The Experts were £15k + VAT. Custom for equivalent payload was about £5k more.

All are Professional spec. So aircon, carplay and so on. Only things missing are alloys, dot lights around headlamps and Satnav but you have Satnav via CarPlay. Professional Plus has everything. To get aircon on Customs you’ve got to get a limited and they are pricey. Incidentally payload is a 1,000 kilos on the 1.6 and 1400 on the 2.0.

Got a Peugeot Expert Premium Standard 2.0 BlueHdI 150 on the way, we'll see how it does over the year. It will work both for wfp and pw.

No problems to date.

Only problem with any van with an adblue tank  may give you emission control faults after 3 years which can cost alot to replace the pump/system,not sure if many people know about the issue of the pump corroding as not built to withstand the corrosive liquid dont think any of the manufacturers have addressed the issue. Probably so they can charge a fortune to fix it.

That's why I bought a Ducato, no AdBlue needed ?

That’s a much bigger van though. And totally different to drive. Much less refined that either the Custom or Despatch. I’ve a new Ducato based motorhome so I Drive one.

It drives a damn sight better then any transit I've ever driven. My reply was to someone that mentioned any van, not a specific one.

[Shammy Davis Senior]

Wee.

whats Adblue

It's ammonia pal that's it, it's supposed to reduce emissions, load a ***** that needs topped up regularly or the van won't drive.
