Citroen nemo 1.3 hdi

Anybody on here run 1 of these.

Just want to know your thoughts...

Being such a small engine is it any good for running customers goods around the country?

Thanks

Its bigger than my engine but then mines on a bike ;-)

Is it a brand new one?

Vauxhall combo only had 1.3 out of the fiat that seamed okay and it says it does 68mpg been looking at them but unsure on the size

We have the Peugeot Bibber and its over 2 years old now with well over 100k miles on it.

It's been a good van, no problems at all, apart from a recall to update the rear suspension.

It takes a Full size pallet and well over half a ton. I have not driven it much, but the driver seems to like it. The Brakes are unbelievable, [never driven anything with better] but it does seem bouncy when unladen.

Thinking of getting another, but will probably be a Fiat as I think their warranty seems better.

55 mpg and no slouch either

My fiat grande punto said 82.2, most I ever managed was 65 on a trip to France, don't believe the hype

I have had 2 vehicles with the 1.3 hdi in they are smooth and economical, but i'm not happy with there durability they don't seem that tough, my first one injrector went at 31, 000 and the clutch started making a noise at 25, 000 fiat dealer couldnt fix it, I wouldn't have another, a decnt diesel engine should wizz past 200,000 miles with few problems, and I don't think these will

Shame you are not able to edit posts.

Mine should have read Peugeot Bipper!

I had the Citroen Nemo 1.4hdi, best was 63mpg @ 75mph. Really bouncy due to the short wheelbase, but a great van to drive.

Only issue I had was engine wiring loom nearly burnt out (replaced under warranty).

Yes it's a brand new one. I have concerns that it won't be reliable or durable enough for what we do. I am being offered a brand new one for £6995 + vat which I think is a good price for a brand new one with 3 years warranty. I will think it over and see what my thoughts are. Thanks all. :)

I drive a 1.3 fiat fiorino and I've done over 100k miles in it, nice to drive and very nippy on motorway even with a full load, if I wasn't thinking of getting a bigger van I'd def buy another of these

They look very small, what the cab space like?

I've no direct experience of them, but I did ask another courier about his, and he was quoting pretty good mpg figures, significantly better than my 1.6 Berlingo. Over 60 mpg I think he said.

I'd be interested to know from any owners if they've ever had problems getting jobs on board due to the reduced loading space.

You could have difficulty fitting things in ANY Van if the load is too big for it! The Bipper will take a 650kg. 1200 X 1000 pallet. Just under 1m high.

They look small but like rapid said takes a full pallet and there is enough room in the front, I don't usually carry any more than 600kg and doing between 50 - 60mpg even with 160k on clock

Well yes, but generally jobs are classed as small van, transit, bike etc. So I suppose what I was asking was how often do owners of these vans go to pick up a small van job and find that they can't get it on? Probably not often but I've certainly had jobs that only just fitted in the Berlingo, exhibition jobs spring to mind.

You can always put stuff on the roof.

Mate had one of these in the final couple of years at dhl in preston he loved it did 65 mpg from the word go
