i have a fiat doblo van 1.9 multijet, its a brilliant van had nothing go wrong with it since buying it very reliable, handles weight very well engine pulls like a train and is good on fuel, i have a 350l tank in it but it could easily handle more, twin side loading doors are very useful

the driving position excellant and it drives very well, i also have a 55reg vauxhall combo which is no where near as good as the doblo

sorry hes got a scudo new shape thinking about it

I've had a 2007 1.3TD for 2.5 years Dave. Not had any issue with it at all. I bought it in a bit of a rush, wanted a scudo etc really but this came up & was too good to miss. 50mpg fully loaded, never let me down once. Honestly, I can't speak highly enough of these vans mate, exceeded all my expectations. I run a 400ltr flat tank from it. Funnily enough, it came from Ryhill.

Vince,

remember that this is only one barrel and will leave him with 2 different keys - one for the ignition and one for the doors; a pain. The price will be for a lock set -all the same, fitting and then recoding the new keys to the ECU.

Even with just replacing the ignition barrel, a new key still has to be programmed in by Fiat. How do you get the van to Fiat if you fit it yourself? Then their is Fiats £100.00 to do the job.

you can always tape the old key onto the new barrel /shroud which will unlock the immobiliser

Have had a 2006 1.3TD for 6 years Dave. Not had any issue with it at all. I bought it in a bit of a rush, wanted a scudo etc really but this came up & was too good to miss. 50mpg fully loaded, never let me down once. Except when a door lock jammed on the slider and it cost me £100 for a fix. Honestly, I can't speak highly enough of these vans mate, exceeded all my expectations. I ran a 400ltr flat tank from it. Being pre 2007 it is only £130 road tax.

I've amended the above to reflect my experience -  

The 2010 onwards version has more options.

I was a tad worried when I went for it! He was a nice chap actually, bit of a shame, he's a sparky & had built a good business contracting to the council but within about 1 month they cut his work to almost nothing! I got the bargain of the century though!
