yeah was good deal only lost hundred quid on my combo as bought it at auction originally so cost me very little to change. The extra room is goin to be a godsend.

[Joe H]

I reckon you will soon fill that extra room.

Always happens. 

[richy27]

your prob right joe  but thing thats annoyed me is taking nearly everything out to get one thing out. didnt have side door see

[Joe H]

Yes, know what you mean.
First van I had was a Citroen Dispatch - that had a side loading door either side which was great for access to things.
Plus now you have a bit of headroom as well so you can get in to whats stored.

[richy27]

Too right jo.  Got jobs on every day next week as its the special day when my new one comes ply kit on the way and will be shelf building all day. When i started out i had magnetics on my van so will swop them over. till get the signs done.

[clinton]

The van will look good when you get it signed

I had those magnetic signs years ago when i started

My Combo's fine, I have all my C/C gear plus a dip tank in it... You must have some gear Rich

Did call in to their car side Sunday and ask what deals are they doing on the 308 cash he just gave me a price list, did go in there looking like I’ve been dragged threw a hedge backwards, suit clean shaven on the way to church.

Be good to let us know what the peugeot deal is,was looking at a citreon dispatch last wk the new model was on at 9991 plus vat

We got a new car after xmas and got a good deal

Like the medium size vans as it could fit in the garage.

[richy27]

to be honest my porty is quite large and when layed flat in back of the van takes up half the back minus about 8 inches behind the machine.

[Mark Sadler]

Goin to change my van to somethin little bigger been lookng at a second hand trafic or vivaro any experiences on these  economy etc etc

I had a renault master 02 plate got to 90,000 miles and caused me nothing but problems, cost me over £2500 to try and fix and still couldnt fix the non starting problem. I would stay well clear of renaults. Bought an Iveco daily superb motor no problems at all.

[daysdeepclean]

We've had Renault too.... Never ever again!

You will find that somewhere someone will have a major problem costing thousands to repair with a vehicle.  Years ago i bought a Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0GLX.  Picked the car up on the Wednesday,  on the Sunday i drove 110 miles to see some family & on the way back i i lost all power.  AA recovered back to the Garage that id bought it from.  It was found that it had dropped a piston.  Every mechanic i have spoken to was amazed at what had happened as they are solid engines.  In the first 3 months of me having the car it spent 70% of its time in the garage been fixed with various problems.  I have swore never to have another Ford Mondeo again yet i know many that have had or have Mondeos & they swear by them saying....NO PROBLEMS.   Typical that i have one & have nothing but problems.

Seems amazing that after gaining years of experiance motor manufacturers still churn out a vehicle that has major design flaws.
When buying you get taken in by all the shiny metal (or plastic as is popular these days).
