Yes welcome. Also no idea on vans.

@Eviestevie knows a thing or two on motors perhaps he can point you straight.

The 1.6 hdi engine gets a lot of flack and is known to be a very dirty engine

They can suffer turbo failure but it's down to poor maintenance

Service regular and these engines will run for ever

I've got a 1.6 new shape Dispatch with 73k on it. I'm going for the bigger engine next time I get one.

The 2.0 hdi is the better
