Movano
« on: 23 July 2018, 08:00:12 »
I don't do vans so I don't know if these are good/bad/indifferent but anyway to the point.I watched British Superbikes yesterday and they were using one for collecting crashed bikes etc and it popped into my head as to whether these vans would continue[it is after all a Renault Master/Nissan Primastar by another name]now that PSA have taken over the Vauxhall brand.Will it now change to a re-badged Peugeot/Citroen until such thime as PSA decide to kill off the Vauxhall brand?

If you do get one, be sure to put some cable ties in the glove box. On our company one you never knew when you'd need them to bodge together the gearchange linkage. ::)

And a drip tray for when the gearbox internals smash their way to freedom

And be careful not to catch the battery terminals in the bodywork as you remove it. Which you will.

Shite doesn't even come close. Turning circle of the M25, build quality that would embarrass a five year old. Hateful pos.

Plus seized glow plugs on the older ones, due to water coming in through the bonnet/scuttle.

No. But even the good vans are(and always have been) consumable tools for hard users. The problem with modern vans is they don't last very well for the lighter user either.

I hired a Master last weekend to pick up a ~3m long table.. it had clearly had a very hard life with Hertz as not a single panel was without dents, but it drove well and didn't sound like it was about to fall apart at 70mph - unlike the Transporter I hired last time, which was much newer, but sounded like the bulkhead behind the driver was going to rattle out of it as soon as you got to cruising speed! Hateful thing..
