Vauxhall combo 1.3 diesel

[Robert_S]

Im looking at buying one of these and looking for some feedback.

 

Good or bad!!

 

Would be an 08 or newer model in case that makes a difference.

IMO vauxhall=good motor. We have (abused) had a few and they have all gone on for ever and evre whatever the abuse they get given!

I looked at one of those, ex post office, cheap as chips but gutless, and bound to be abused.

 

I bought an ex british gas 1.7 combo instead, lovely little van, 45mpg, enough power to cruise at 80, and it could tow a little chipper quite happily. (It also towed a 1.6 tonne chipper once, but not so happily)

 

Would certainly have one again.

Cheers, I had a 1.7 before peter but had a bad one so it's put me off that engine, but the rest of the van was great, was your one the Isuzu engine?

[Peter]

Dunno, don't ever remember lifting the bonnet tbh.

[Robert_S]

Haha it was a good one then:thumbup:

I have had a Isuzu 1.7d combo there a bit agricultural but great engine if serviced at intervals. I would avoid anything vauxhall with miles on it.

There a bit prone to rot at age but they great room in them, there also a bit sore on front tyre nothing major but.

It was the Isuzu I had, total rubbish the one I had:thumbdown:

 

I won't be getting anything with lots of miles on it as I will be clocking a few on it.

I used to have an L-reg one with the 1.7 Isuzu in it. Total pain - the engine wasn't covered in any of the manuals, it had a pump on the back of the alternator which meant you had to get them re-wound as nobody stocked it and the engine was designed around 100k miles, after which major bits started to need replacing with alarming regularity. That funny roof thing at the front that raises the height from the standard Corsa rusted out like a colander in under 10yrs. I think they've got that bit sorted at least now, but I much preferred the Ford Escort I had afterwards - only sold it this year as I couldn't get both children in (legally....)
