Hello all newbie here so be gentle!!!
I have a 2004 (04) Doblo Van 1.9 JTD and the clutch is acting strangely, when the pedal is fully depressed i can engage any gear without issue, when i let the clutch up to engage drive all is fine for a few yards and then i get no drive whatsoever, if i depress the clutch pedal half way i can then get drive, albeit with a slight judder :confused:, any ideas folks, many thanks in adavnce.
 
You could check that the gearbox is securely mounted to the engine. Sounds like it could be something serious, even a broken crankshaft :eek:
 
Bloody hell, hope not!!!:cry:

Unsure on the crank issue as it seems to run fine, surely the engine would be out of balance? Gearbox seems secure, am i barking up the wrong tree thinking its a clutch hydralic issue then?

Darn Doblo!
 
try the plastic cylinder thingy in the cab at the back of the clutch pedal. i had this go and the pedal eventually shot up under the dash. looked funny seeing only a brake and accelerator pedal!

Doblos of that age are famous for clutch judder problems, in cold damp climates. No cure that i know off. There are big threads about it here. Mine has it at various times in winter, and requires a different seating position and driving style to cope with it...although it sounds like you have more than a judder problem.
 
Hi I am also new to this Forum malarky stuff.
I have a Bizzare Car !. I think its haunted.
I have a Fiat Doblo JTD year 2005 and it has done 30,000 (7k sinced I owned it.)(owned since May 2008 from the Fiat Dealership)
Clutch slip in 4th and 5th gear but only does it on odd occasions.
Rear Wiper works when it feels like it.
Headlights go out completely when switching from dipped to main beam on odd occasions. Sometimes go out on their own.
The radio switches on and off and does it own thing. Even when the car is locked up. Also if I shut the rear door the radio starts looking for a CD.
Internal rear view mirror falls off whilst driving. Several times .Even though it has been stuck back by the RAC Windscreen people.
Rear wiper washers dont squirt but pump whirrs.
Sqeeks from rear suspension when going over bumps. Doest do it in the rain. So sprayed wd40 on rear bushes but it still does it.

I am mechanically minded and have done major rebuild work on older cars but dont tend to touch modern ones. If someone can tell me where to start. For example is it the light relays or the cloumn switches faulty. Plastic washer pipe broken as a quess but where.

Ta in advance to your help

I have some similiar problems on 2004 JTD

rear wiper goes off then comes back after days or a week. Washer doesnt work. Clutch judder comes and goes depending on how damp weather is. Due to Eco clutch material accumulating on plate i understand.
Squeeks over bumps..this is due to the rear bump stops i understand.

From what i can make out fiat dont design properly for different climates than central europe. Alfa romeo are guilty of this also. The climate and weather affect the vehicle.

another example the RHD of the doblo in UK veers over to one side and prematurely wears the right front shock absorbers as the vehicles engine weight distribution was only designed for LHD.

Still having said that its still a tough vehicle and stands up to a lot of hard driving.
