MrHappy Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Is anybody running a Fiat Doblo / Vauxhall Combo ? (image nicked off google) Apart from them being a touch "Fugly" around the front end they appear to offer class leading load space & an economical 1.3 90bhp TDI, an opinions? Mr Veritas God

Alarm Protection Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 We have had both and the Doblo was run into the ground at 132k miles. The combo was run into a roundabout by another engineer in Wales and iv never seen it or him since! That was about 7 years ago. We have new style Citroen Berlingos and 3 weeks on i have to say they are not bad vans at all, not as sturdy as our connects but drive better and fuel economy is good also. With the connects i had mine at 100k miles and received a phonecall to be told that another engineer had hit black ice and yep you guessed it..............my vas was written off . I had only given it to him for a day as i was on holiday and his van was in for a service. We even made the local rag with the headline "miracle escape for engineer" and my tool box and tools scattered al over the road when it rolled. !

RichL Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 nice rack. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
