I was looking at a 2007 Vauxhall Astra Van 1.3 cdti 6 speed today. Does anybody have any experience of these, are they reliable, what to look out for etc.

I had upto recently a 2008. Good van they give gearbox trouble that's the biggest problem but if the gearbox if making no noises in any gears and is smooth you should be ok. I liked my one a bit underpowered but it never failed to start or cause any real problems.

Had one pretty reliable clocked up 150000 miles I think, it was a while ago, only broke down once, bit sluggish, used to get aboutv1000 km from a full tank, I think it was a fifty litre tank, downside bit light in a crosswind
