OK so newer makes a bit more sense if the mileague isn't too stupid?

Is the above any good? Is the 1.6 a good engine then?

Sorry for all the questions!

No my C5 is the 2.0 HDi cost over 600 quid for the service Inc the belt change!

Perfect, thanks for getting back to me.

Yeah we'll be doing long journeys so the turbo it is. It it the same engine that's in my current C5 HDi estate? If so does it need that mega expensive cam belt change at 100k?

Hi guys, new guy here so sorry for what I'm sure will be a load of silly questions! We're thinking of buying one of these van to convert into a sort of day van/camper. We have a budget of 3k, although I'd rather spend 2k on the van and use the rest on the conversion.

My main concern is mileage, should a 200 plus ex police Fiat scare me or is it a viable option?

Should I try and buy the newest possible regardless of vehicle age, or should I just buy the lowest mileage even if it's old?

Cheers in advance.
