by right...anyone who is employed by the company can drive...

 

similarly..only workers who are employed are allowed to sit in the vehicle...

 

and when you purchase the insurance..do check that it covers the passengers at the back as well...

[karmatrix]

tat means non-employee, cant drive the van?

 

im considering buying a van and register it under my mum's name (she's got a hawker license). but i cant register myself as her worker because im a regular..in this case can i still drive the van legally?

[paiseh]

yup u still can. but muz be sure that the company is under ur mum's name

 

hope u enjoy ur combo.

Eh, when u buy one? Is that the ti grey one I saw parked outside your workshop? Power is averge lah, but the torque is monstrous compared to any normally aspirated petrol guzzler. 2nd gear wheel spin all the way thru corners, yea

dint know it could do that. i tink it would be really cool!! hungry for the drift

[ANR Impex]

It doesn't 'drift' as it is a FWD. It does it easily, just floor it in the turn, don't even need to clutch it to break traction.

ic, hopefully it doesnt topple down. shld ask my fren try or rather try his combo haha

[ANR Impex]

It won't topple, the combo is a very low CG vehicle, it actually handles pretty well in sweepers. The brakes are good too, only eurovan with ABS and it bites well. The only gripe is the underdamped shocks.

 

Diesel back to subdollar pricepoint (~95cents), I'm back to my throttleheavy ways

[paiseh]

yea, esp when feeling of flooring when u feel the surge of the combo.

 

have u tried out the ABS yet?

[spy622]

seems like most of u guys r driving the 1.7 100bhps version..looks like Im the only 1 wif the 1st batch of combo 1.7 75bhps version

[paiseh]

recently there has been an increase in opel combo drivers (the newer specs one) coz the specs are better! hehe

 

 

**advertising post removed**

[archenemy]

only the newer versions, the CDTI version have ABS...together with 4 disc brakes..

 

1.7 DTI dont have...

bang for buck...i believe the combo is 1 of the best vehicles around...

 

where can you get a turbo powered vehicle at $30K and getting at least 700km per $45 of fuel?

 

i have let countless of cars smell some diesel smoke...leaving them in my wake...

[fooz]

CDTI nw onli 30k? i thgt it was 35+k?

doblo oso turbo-ed rite?

 

i gt a noob qn.

is the opel an auto or manual?

 

urrgh.tempted.

[ANR Impex]

I can't get 16km/L with urban type usage. Hovering around 14km/L. I can see how the FC can be that good, the needle hardly budge when doing expressway driving.

 

The Doblo on paper matches the Combo in hp. But if you drive both, you will realise one is still a van while the other is like a passenger car with a responsive engine grafted to a LGV rear end.

 

The result is of course poorer real life efficiency with the combo compared to the doblo. The doblo is actually much more suitable for crawling along in urban traffic. The agent for doblo seems to have better customer service than Opel's Triangle Auto from my personal experience.

 

Maintenance of such vans aren't cheap apart from the cheaper rd tax and diesel. They require the real fully syn EO (can't use those "fully syn" like cheap Carlube) and 10k oil change. Parts are expensive too from what I understand.

[speedevil]

It depends how u floor the first 3 gear... if u r heavy footed, then FC sure high.

Mine 1 tank can go 870km++ onwards(with air-con "on")

min 17.6km/L

And you don't get stuck in slow traffic alot i presume? For me, I feel really must hit Eway 95% of the time to get that kind of milage.

u mean parts, even compared to car, are more expensive?

for eg?
