1998 Vauxhall Midi SWB Van review from UK and Ireland
"The Midi is an excellent, economical and trouble free van that's pleasant to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has ever gone wrong with the van.
Its had the usual service items / parts you'd expect to replace over the years, brakes, tyres, etc.
Rear tailgate wiper has never worked (and never worried me!).
General comments?
The van has been excellent and 100% reliable and trouble free. Even now it's getting on, I don't think twice about jumping in and driving 300 or more miles.
The Isuzu 2.4 turbo diesel engine is excellent, a bit noisy, but gets well over 40 mpg, possibly over 50.
I love the column gear shift, great fun to drive plus I learned to drive on a column change (on a Toyota pickup).
