... Anyone else got one, if so, reliable?

[jonnyald]

i used to be a mechanic, astra can be okay but can have a dickey engine so it will pay you to go for AT LEAST a 20 mile test drive , watchout for any overheating or warning lights . theres loads with dickey engines that have failed on Ebay .

I've had loads of astra's in the past and thought they are great vans. Fuel pumps on diesels are expensive if they pack up so dont run out of fuel and it should be fine

My current van is an Astra van.Got 170'000+ miles on the clock and never goes wrong.Can't fault it and cost me peanuts.

Probably break down tomorrow....

i have had a couple of astras, if they had a sliding side door they would be ok

but as a trad or wfp van,that tail gate just keeps getting in the way

[Karl Inskip]

I just trolled through the posts and noticed this topic. I am 18 and have an astra van with a 250l wfp system.

My insurance is about the same (£1326) as yours with 1 years no claims.

They are good vans but mine has a diesel leak.
