Hi All:wave:
After many months of faffing,havering and procrastinating finally got a 56 plate 1.9 (105bhp) in grey(more like black to me),nice low miles(15000),still got a years warranty and a great price compared to all the rest of the overpriced dealers who seem to have had the same cars for the last several months. I would have liked a Dynamic but happy with an Active.
Couple of questions if anyone out there can help,the radio is just saying "wait" when I switch on,dealer did say he'd had a problem getting it to work,got the code,just wondering if I should disconnect battery and "reboot"?
Also I'm assuming the full beam stalk should flash the lights when pulled,mine doesn't seem to although the lights do work when pushed forward.
I did read about some folk getting a lot of wind noise but I didnt realise how bad until I went over 70 (I know,I know...:nono is it just the shape,anything to do with the wipers???
Anyway,generally delighted so far,might put some alloys on at a later date and am looking into roof rails,they seem to be more common on newer 08/9 models,need a towbar and kinda like the look of tinted rear windows if anyone knows of anywhere good in Scotland otherwise it'll have to wait for my next trip south...
happy days

Hi dob. welcome to the forum.
I've got roof rails on mine, bought off ebay. I believe they improve the overall look of the motor but on closer inspection they leave a lot to be desired. On the plus side they have proved very useful to me many times. I put up some pics of mine somewhere on here.

Towbars are quite an easy fit on the doblo. Search the forums, there's a handy thread to help with the wiring (I put up the colour codes etc when I did mine).

The full beam flash does seem to be a problem with doblos (maybe Fiats in general?) and, again, there is a thread - somebody mentioned they had bought some contact cleaner from Maplins & sprayed plenty inside the switch. I have to say, my lights have worked a treat since I did mine.

You can buy the factory roof bars as a kit from a dealer though the cost is over 300 quid, good sturdy items though, I have the part number if you need it.

I largely cured the wind noise inadvertantly when I fitted wind deflectors to the front door windows, bought off ebay. I got them so could drive with window cracked open and to act as sun visor but also dramatically reduced wind noise when on motorway.

Hope you enjoy your Doblo.

Cheers guys
I'd appreciate that part no. Notts,a lotta dosh as you say but they look the biz,did you fit them yourself? What was the Ebay store for the wind deflectors?
Saw your roofrail pics Sludge,shame about the indent,hope it's not letting any water in,definitely can't risk that in a Scottish climate.
I'll pop into Maplins but I don't think that idea will get the radio working!
Funny,you don't realise how much you flash your lights til you can't!:idea:
Great forum:slayer:
