Well now......I will give you a A* for patience. More than I would have had........
Euro 6!!! sounds nasty.....more useless junk on the system thanks to the EU.

Mine has a EGR, but no DPF...........had the option to order one when specing it, but as it was a option back in 2009 thought lets not bother...........

One of my better decisions..........

Keep counting the days & days & days down.....will soon go......lol

Cheers Qube O.

I was so close to pulling out to buy a mecedes Citan / Renault kanggo or something !! But bit big in crew cab only comes in the Lwb !
My Mercedes sprinter has dpf probs needs cleaning out so often or it runs crap! So yes very good decision Qube O !!
Stopped counting the days weeks ago ! Lol
Euro 6 yes crap but not any choice! Just gotta roll with the green stuff!!
 
Hi Duffish,
I think the 'top man' at Fiat u.k., should award you at least a years worth of free fuel for being so patient....................no hope, but nice thought !!

Cheers Qube O.

I was surprised to follow more than one (what I thought was a) Doblo on the motorway only to find it was a Vauxhall... I thought the exchange of bodies was between Fiat, Peugeot and Citroen, not Vauxhall. Odd looker though, strange long bonnet, tall windscreen, not compact like our Fiorinos.

I always had vauxhall's but when they said there was a van to replace the the combo [corsa based box van] i waited...........and then was invited down to my local vauxhall garage to test drive ''the new van'', well i thought it was the most awkward and just the most ugly looking thing, and declined the test drive.
Vauxhall have some lovely looking cars and vans in there range but they have just buggered up the front end of van with the grill design, the fiat version is much better, i still think it's a funny looking van though.

Added to which, Fiat make the mouth on the Qubo (certain versions - Adventure perhaps?) even more ugly by having a grille on it which sticks forward of the bumper whereas our van have it recessed and a bit more interesting with the fins and vanes.

I agree, i do prefer the front end of ours, even more so with the drl's under the headlight bumper version, which is what i'm after next.

I've never seen (factory-fit) DRLs on a van - though tractor units of artics have them, perhaps after market additions?
