I went through my collection last year when I was bored and searched latest sold prices on eBay, came to nearly 3 grand, most have only been rad once.

I've been toying with one too, have put it off for a year due to having a littlun and cars are just safer while they're tiny.

Transits from 2017 to present have a wet belt. It's a 1200 quid thing every 60k. They do seem a good option other than that, bloke that invented it deserves a slap.

Stelantis vans, so expert, dispatch, new vivaro and the fiat one are the same. Weird driving position apparently but can't confirm. Many ad blue and egr problems. Good toys though on normal models. The 1.5s are cheap and have a 7mm chain between cams, avoid this one. 1.6s ok but 2 litre is better.

Vito come in two varieties, 1.5s are Renault engines and are cheap, 2.1s are merc engines so are expensive.

Transporters are overrated but that could be said for all vws.


All in all I'm no closer to making a decision on what I want. I too am looking at around 13k, I think a Peugeot expert but I don't know. Obviously the security on vans is a joke across the board.

Had 11 up to about 15lb, felt ok, I'd have liked to have given it the biggun but not really possible there. Majority of my angling is 15 wraps or less.

Used the 15lb for the first time this weekend, only at 15 wraps but felt like cotton compared to the cm90 I had on, cast better than it to, felt nice to touch and supple. It'll certainly do for a while.

Interesting....wasn't aware of that, typically I bit the bullet on the new kaizen line this week as the 3 year old cm90 really needed replacing.

Prologic cm90

Could it be the berkley unicorn under a different brand, or are prologic using a dead name to sell a different product?

Thanks all, will complete my new p1 universal perfectly.

Are these, specifically the mini version, suitable for abbreviated handles, it looks like the rod will sit on stainless, lr is the little domed p1 badge enough to keep the rod away from getting scratched?

When I eventually pull the trigger I think I'm going to go for a 2020ish expert. The 2.0 diesel have the bigger chain, the professional has a few toys too like car play too.

Was a thing ages ago on here about garlic horse liquid, equimins I think it was, I have got some but haven't got round to giving it a good go yet.
