[ivan_will]

Greetings,

Could you please say some opinions about this model? What about the engine? Is it reliable? other...

Thanks in advance!

[BigNeil]

hicube are great as they are very big inside
used to have a longcube which was same length but had a semi high roof
the engine is different to what i had so you need to wait on someone else to advise you about that

is this one you are about to buy ?

[alanwh]

A 100ps Turbo ?

[ivan_will]

Yes , I think ...
I don't like that these models have rust ...

but... I've heard that the new models(from 2000y.) aren't good enough...

give me an advice ....

[alanwh]

Rust a lot less than a sprinter
MK 5 2.5 DI Engine (quite noisy) but bullet proof, because of this are also abused to hell and back
With the TD. They are the first generation electronic "fly by wire" accelerator pedal and pump and have a bad reputation for failing (mostly unjustified). Make sure that the engine management light comes on with the ignition and goes out straightaway on start up and doesn't come on at all throughout the test run. You will need to give it a long run to make sure its right up to max operating temp. It should rev well without hesitation and without much smoke. While idling, any "hunting" does tend to point to injection system problems.
Get a good one, service it well, then learn to weld and you will never need another van

I've forget to say that the model I want to buy has four wheel back!

i have this engine minus fly by wire injection in my sprinter which is about the same size as the high cube and most of the time it has been great , good economy when i try for it or fast if i dont

[alanwh]

JESUS...How much

Can't you get one from the UK and convert it to L/H drive ?

Off the top of my head, I would think a really good one would only be £1500 in the UK

[madmark]

[ivan_will]

any ideas how munch is the payload?

[ivan_will]

This is another van ...the same like the previous...






please tell me about the payload of this van???? !!!!!

[MinorMatt]

well it will either be a 190 (3500kg max gross weigh - 1700kg approx payload) or a 230 (4250kg Max gross and about 2300kg payload)

You would need to look at the data plate in the passenger step to know for certain
