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)?

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!?

XUD NAD was a stock engine in the partner, common as muck and it's already got the correct engine mounts and loom.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

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?

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

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.

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..

I still like the idea of a Dispatch with a high-boost XUD in it.
