Vauxhall Combo 1700

Vauxhall have a variety of vans on offer and one of those that provides the most versatility is the combo 1700. The van is a perfect solution for light commercial use. The combo is the step up from the astra van and handles more like a van than its smaller cousin. It has a lot of commercial space and the van has different door options. The 1700 stands for the 1.7 engine size, the van is available in both petrol and diesel.

The van comes with a driver and passenger side airbags, power steering and ABS brakes, most drivers of this commercial vehicle find it fairly reliable and makes a great tradesman van as its not to bulky to take up too much space and is good for local journeys but can still manage a great deal of equipment.
The interior can be a little basic but with a few extras you could think you are in a car rather than a van. The seat can be fixed fairly high to avoid back pain if using it for deliveries. Depending on the options you pick the load volume is between 2.8 and 3.2 metres.

This could be the van for you if you want something handy and reliable if you already have a Vauxhall Combo and are looking for vauxhall combo 1700 parts look no further than Megavaux

The Vauxhall Movano van range

The Vauxhall Movano is a step up from the Vivaro, it offers a lot more capacity at a fairy reasonable price. Its advantages are its steering, cheap to run and it offers low easy loading. Some people have experiences issues with driveshafts and gears.

However the Movano takes advantage from input from other car manufacturers including a Renault engine and body work and even has something of Nissan about it. There are in fact three versions of the same van and a recent facelift means they now all look a little more different.
There is no petrol option on the Movano that there usually is on this sized range but they do offer advanced diesel engines that offer great fuel efficiency. The glove box is surprisingly small for a van but the door bin with flask holder makes up for this oversight as does the overhead shelf.

The Movano has a range of style options depending on your business needs you can get the traditional panelled van, minibus, platform cabs, double cabs. Whatever your business needs there is a movano to suit, if you are looking for vauxhall movano parts then take a look at Megavaux

The Vauxhall Vivaro van

The Vauxhall Vivaro is Vauxhalls equivalent to the transit van in the medium van class. Different vans have different uses some use it as a work van others have converted it to a camper van, minibus, double cab or low deck drop side.

The basic models can be a bit of an uncomfortable drive but if you go for the better interior its recommended at better than a transit. It’s spacious enough for three drivers and the gearstick is dashboard mounted and so provides easy exit for the driver through the passenger door if needed. The driver has the comfiest seat that is height adjustable and a reach adjustable steering wheel. Options include sat nav, stero systems a tailgate and an electronic stability control.

All Vivaros have a diesel engine that make the engine quite reliable but like any van can be noisy at speed.

The Vivaro has good capacity and has a range of side door and rear door options. A three button lock has just been introduced that allows the cab to be locked while loading.

If you are looking to add a van to your business then consider a Vauxhall Vivaro, if you are looking to repair your Vauxhall and need Vauxhall Vivaro parts look no further than Vauxhall.

Vauxhall VX220 Review

The Vauxhall VX220 is the sports car of the Vauxhall world; it is very similar to the Lotus Elise but has a lower price tag and a different badge. The VX220 certainly has the feel of a sports car, its fast, it handles well and the steering is really responsive.

Sports cars aren’t known for their space and the VX220 is no exception, the boot can hold 200 litres and there is a storage seat behind the seats and of course this is a two seater. Speaking of the two seats they provide a comfortable ride but can be a little difficult to manoeuvre in and out of.

The Vauxhall VX220 is quite safe for a sports car with ABS brakes and drivers airbag. It is also fairly secure with alarm immobiliser and deadlocks.

As Vauxhall is not really known for its sports cars you can pick up one of these relatively cheaply for a sports car. If you already have a Vauxhall VX220 and are looking for Vauxhall vx220 parts then look no further than megavaux.

Vauxhall Sintra Review

If you are shopping on a bit of a budget at the moment but still need a large mpv. It may be worth considering the Vauxhall Sintra that has models from 97-99. It’s one of the lesser known mpv’s from this period but has an incredible amount of space on the inside, some versions can seat up to eight people.

The engine is smooth; it’s extremely practical with slide doors and has a great load capacity. It all sounds fairly positive but the car didn’t really get great review as its looks aren’t to everyone’s taste and can have a van like feel to it.

People who like its space tend to rate it quite highly in comparison with its rivals due to its spaciousness. It also quite a comfortable ride although it can be quite firm. When driving you are seated fairly high and the pedals are well positioned. It has remote central locking electric windows and air conditioning and handily audio controls on the steering column so they are easy to reach. Its 2.2 litre engine is fairly economical for a larger car and it can do 0-60 in 10 seconds.

So if you are looking for an MPV on a budget try a Vauxhall Sintra. If you are looking to repair your Sintra with Vauxhall Sintra Parts take a look at Megavaux.
