Van Options
#1
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)?

old Dispatch . . . had a 1.9 nad in it i believe . .Smile
Phase 1 D-Turdo, K14@24 psi, De-cat, meaty backbox, Bosch pump, grinded LDA pin, duel air fed K&N =133.7bhp & 188ft/lbs

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.

Or a 75 miles / 2 hour 20 minute A/B road bash all the way home. Tongue

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?

305 van would be win
#20
I hope this turns into a project thread!
#21
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.. Sad

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