Van Options - silverzx - 13-11-2013
I like the idea of having a van with a fairly simple Bosch/TD04L XUD in.
Whats the one to look for in terms of spec/simplicity of engine change?
I have a donor phase 1 D8A 306DTurbo with a T2 & bosch already on.
Berlingo?
Partner?
Any engine thats easiest to swap from (for speedo, rev counter etc)?
RE: Van Options - Mattcheese31 - 13-11-2013
old Dispatch . . . had a 1.9 nad in it i believe . .
RE: Van Options - silverzx - 13-11-2013
Just to clarify it doesn't have to be a massive van. Hence why I thought Berlingo/Partner would be a good choice. Much like the 306oc support wagon IIRC!?
RE: Van Options - Jonny81191 - 13-11-2013
XUD NAD was a stock engine in the partner, common as muck and it's already got the correct engine mounts and loom.

TU engined berlingo, cheap as chips because nobody wants them lol.
Re: Van Options - Pete - 13-11-2013
A low and boosted Citroen c15 would be win.

RE: Van Options - silverzx - 13-11-2013
This is the sort of thing I was thinking...

Wasn't expecting to dish out £200 on ARP studs this month..
RE: Van Options - Jonny81191 - 13-11-2013
Er, bargain much?
Especially as you'll be ditching the engine.
Get it bought!!
RE: Van Options - silverzx - 13-11-2013
Theres no contact number so I've emailed them mine.
RE: Van Options - mr_fish - 13-11-2013
If I hadn't of put the XUD in the 206, I would of liked to put one in a Partner. High boosted LCV
RE: Van Options - silverzx - 13-11-2013

Whos keen to help me swap the 1.9TD in then?
He said it smokes white constantly, he's been told its an injector problem.

Or a 75 miles / 2 hour 20 minute A/B road bash all the way home.
Not that it matters as the 1.9TD lump would be going in!
What suspension do these use? Same strut assembly as a 306?
Torsion bar on the rear?
RE: Van Options - puglove - 13-11-2013
Need i say any more trent???? get on it!!!
RE: Van Options - Jenkosowls - 13-11-2013
Front end is 306 suspension on a Zx estates chassis it's around an inch narrower at strut tops. Uses 405/206 style rear beam. Fair few bits need swooping from the 306 to make it fit
Van Options - Sambarker - 13-11-2013
305 van would be win
RE: Van Options - itone24 - 13-11-2013
I hope this turns into a project thread!
RE: Van Options - welshpug - 13-11-2013
it literally IS a 405 rear beam on these, as is the Xsara picasso...
front end as mentioned from bulkhead forwards is all 306.
engine wise it'll drop straight in.
RE: Van Options - silverzx - 14-11-2013
Decided to give this van a miss.
- 100 miles / 2:20 hour away.
- Long list of MOT advisories from last year.
- Higher tax bracket (£215 year despite being 51 plate)
- Zero service history (bar the clutch/gearbox reciept which is worthless)
- Struggling to find a lift.
Turns out a friend of mines father just scrapped a mint Berlingo for £120 that he's owned for 12 years, gutted I missed it!
I'll keep an eye out locally but for now this is going under the carpet..
RE: Van Options - me-tm - 14-11-2013
I still like the idea of a Dispatch with a high-boost XUD in it.
