Have a good look underneath, Iv'e just got ride of a Peugeot Boxer 2004 ended up been a money pit.
Final straw was the rusted chassis / body work underneath, up until about 100,00 miles it was OK then it was one thing after the other.
I bought it with 54000 on the clock and got rid with 173000. but it did end up being a work horse.
One of the re occurring problems were the front strut top mounting bearings. went through 3 set, you will hear them start to groan and the steering won't self centre.
Lovely driving position and I would have another one tomorrow if needs be.

My last van was on a 1998 Peugeot Boxer. Very reliable - only engine problem was a faulty water temp sensor.
I agree that you should look under the chassis and esp. the body mounting points for rust. Also check the front cross member which is, I believe, is prone to corrosion.
Only MoT problems were with corroded brake pipes.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

Thank you, reckon I get it looked at by Rac or similar. It's still a lot of money to hand out and get stitched up. I be spending a lot of time in it so want it as best as possible. Does any know how much fuel the on board heaters use, I guess they only work on diesel.? . Thanks again.

Hi,
Very wise to take a qualified person with you.
Also having owned an older Boxer they were also prone to rusting aound the lower windscreen corners.Also where the Capt stated.
Seen quite a few where people had not done a proper job and just filled up to and around the windscreen seal with obvious results.
Having said that it was a good bit of kit.
Good luck.
Regards,
Greg

Thanks for reply, am mechanical minded, but I have no idea where these vans are vulnerable. So hopefully having it looked at will save me lots of trouble.
