Buy Used and Reconditioned Talbot Express parts

As the last of the Talbot vehicles to be produced, the Express holds a fond place in many owners hearts. Many people within the UK still use the vehicles for recreational purposes - particularly as motorhomes. Even the most recent models are now over 20 years old, so mechanical issues can develop. Breakeryard.com can help make sure your Talbot stays on the road for as long as possible.

Talbot Express (1982 - 1994)

The Talbot Express was a rebadged version of the Peugeot J5 van, which went into production in 1982 for the UK market only. PSA Peugeot Citroen bought what was then called Chrysler Europe and returned it to its original Talbot marque, rebadging various models. It was during this PSA Peugeot Citroen ownership that the Express van was produced.

The French ownership is evident through the range of Citroen/Peugeot petrol and diesel engines that power the Express, all of which are transversely mounted. A 4x4 option was also available during its lifespan, although these models are now incredibly hard to come by. 1991 saw the launch of the second generation Express, known as the series 2, which had some exterior changes including an enlarged grille. Production of the Express vans ended in 1994 when Peugeot finally stopped manufacturing under the Talbot name.

The Talbot van was very popular for conversions to campervans or motorhomes, and well-maintained versions are still popular to this day - holding their value far better than the commercial van variants.

Due to their age some owners may find that parts are hard to come by, meaning that repairs can be expensive. This is where Breakeryard.com can help. Some common issues, according to Practical Motorhome, are failures of the exhaust manifolds on both petrol and diesel models, as well as issues with the headlights caused by reflectors degrading and peeling away inside the unit. Another common problem is window winder mechanism failures. They also advise that it is unlikely that you will find anything other than a five-speed manual gearbox in UK-based Talbots, but do praise the Express for being a generally tough vehicle with few serious issues or weaknesses.
