I have a van.

Picked up today my fiat doblo cargo multijet.

It's 3 years old end of this month.

Spotted Saturday at company called vanwise in Harlow 25 minute drive from where I live 👍

Every cloud ☁ has a silver lining, I was on my way to Harlow hospital A&E as chest infection was causing havoc with my asthma

Happy days mate!

Did you do your RAC jobbie? If so, with less than a month left of warranty (if its the normal 3 years) take it in for any repair work you can get Fiat to cover asap!

Free repairs!!

Hi Don.

Maybe reckless but didn't RAC inspect.

They take 4 days, would have been another week waiting about almost.

I used the money instead with warranty direct cost £280 for 1yea,  luxury cover  service.

I paid £5500 for van it's just been serviced and mot'd.

So years mot and next service 21,000 miles or 2 years, whichever sooner.

Hopefully got a good one.

Which engine size?

[lee_dewing]

Hi Granville 1248 diesel.

Silly question maybe, just noticed light not working above rear doors cargo bay.

How did you work from your doblo I was just gonna have side door open a jar pull hose through.

Only thing worrying me is internal light might stay on in cargo area draining battery.

I I get light fixed, probably bulb

Thanks Tom & Daz.

My Doblo was the 1.3 too on a 56 plate and still going strong with Dan the man.

I worked out the back.

A 400L flat tank with the reel on the ply top of the tank at the back and out the doors. Just sat in a wooden frame so I could lift it out and put it on the floor for directional purposes or if I wanted to close the back doors on the feed hose in a dodgy area.

Dan does similar but has a 400L upright against the bulkhead but still has the hose reel at the back on the floor.

Oh ... it's a very small sump so be religious about oil changes every year.

And of course being a cam chain - no belt to worry about.

Re - rear light staying on

Buy an LED bulb instead and fit that, and when you change the bulb, take off the positive wire and fit an in light switch so you can switch the light on and off.

[lee_dewing]

Thanks for the info Granville 👍

Gonna be a few days of switching things about in the back till I'm happy with layout.

Will probably have to get a roof rack not sure I can trust my screwfix (little giant rip off) or telescopic ladders.
