Is the Doblo the best MPV/Van for under £2k?!

Just a note on reliability for all the people thinking about buying one of the diesel Multijet engines.
Since this video I have had a number of unfortunate issues with this car.
EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation valve) - The solenoid failed and needed replacing – Symptom / Engine light come on – The engine does run better when this fails!
Alternator free wheel clutch pulley seized – This was the cause for my auxiliary belt tensioners to fail so often. To do this this job to need to take the alternator out of the car, which is a very long/difficult job, which includes removing most of the suspension from the right side of the car, and even when you do get to this stage, the pulley maybe so seized on – like mine – they you need to buy a new alternator!
Suspension top mount bolts sheared when trying to access alternator – Needed new top mount.
Water leak – New water pump needed, which involves removing the timing belt!
These from reading on the forums seem to be relatively common issues, so makes sure there is history of them being done when buying these engines.

Stay tuned to see all the following repairs!
