I've got a Dispatch: brilliant vehicle. I've got mine kitted out with built in terrier boxes and dog cages at the back, the middle is empty for large items, but the cages come out completely if I need to transport a bed or sofa. Quite economical, and although my MOT man hates them, says their rubbish, touch wood mine has never been any problem: O2 reg and still going strong. (Each time I take it in for MOT I remind him of what he thinks of them, and though he tries his best to find something wrong, he can't: fingers crossed I haven't jinxed it by saying this! )

The body is galvanised too, so no sign of rust anywhere, even where the odd knock has taken the paint off a few years back. I love it: drives like a good 'un, very easy, power steering, but don't get the underpowered version: stick with the nearly 2 litre one: there are more engine sizes available now that there were when I bought mine, so I don't know all the sizes there are, but the smaller engines were very sluggish and underpowered at the time.

 

Just my experience of the van.

thanks for taking the time to reply, a mate has the dispatch and my uncle is thinking about the expert. i told him the dispatch is a cracking wee van and doesnt seem to be a bad van. to which he replied that you always have 1 that will run well and the other 99% may be not worth scrap value. he's had pug's (205 / 405 / 406) for a good while now and never really had a problem with them thats why he was swaying for the expert. so thats where i thought i may aswel ask on here.
