do any of you use these vans,      seen a lot about ebay lately,     only 13 00cc  engine,   but have a good payload around 700k,    may be handy for space and load to carry

I've been using one for four years with zero issues at all!! Great little vans & pull like a train for such a small engine! It's carried a 400ltr tank & all the gubbins no problem. I'm just considering getting a larger van now to accommodate a 500/600 ltr tank.

Bought for £3250 four years ago when it was just three years old & still worth 2k now! :)

I'm not saying the other one isn't worth the money. Mine was a true bargain at the time & owes me nothing, that's why I'd be happy getting 2k for it. I actually felt sorry for the guy selling it, his business had gone down the pan, he'd just spent £500 on new roof bars with rear roller & CAT1 remote alarm immobiliser system! Couldn't quite believe my luck!

ive got one and so has my brother, they are good vans, a lot of taxi drivers have them, you do however have to keep an eye on the oil as they only hold 3 litres, and the timing chain !

Brilliant van.

Got mine new in late 2006, 730kg payload, still got it but only 38,000 miles later.

For the first six years of it's life it was me and 400L - then me + Dan + 400L + a trailer with a further 200L for six months until I got my Hyundai.

Now it's got a 200L in it and I use it for carrying guttervaccing stuff and Dan gets it as sweetener.

The engine is a Suzuki engine with no timing belt (chain) - I have had no probs but rumour has it it should have an oil change every year even if low mileage as the sump only takes 3.8 litres.
