Have you considered a Renault Grand Espace?
Up until 2003 or so, (depending upon how many the Renault dealers pre-registered),
you can get the lightweight Matra Aerospace composite bodied 'true Espace'.
Run as two-seater roofed pick-up, you have a load of space, naturally,
and a choice of sturdy Bosch injector, (dTi), or commonn rail (dCi), engines.

I have considered the grand espace, but the bit that I like with the C5 estate is the self levelling suspension so no matter the load the car is always level and handles exactly the same. Also the renault diesels arent as good as the citreon ones,
Looking at engines, I like the 2.0 hdi, cambelts at 10 years and low road tax cos of the emissions decent miles per gallon and can be chipped for an extra 50bhp

One of the avengers have gone. Guess which.
So to replace it with something big and barge like. Citroen C5 estate.
C5 as it is cheaper than the XM i wanted to get and they are cheap and need a load carrier foir two months and more france building work trips so should I buy a van or a big estate car with self levelling suspension?
