the 330 will be your best option

go for an ex bt one. they should be clean and have full history. can't go wrong

nothing better than a transit, touch wood never had a problem with mine, vivaro's have more problems and costly to fix the gear box.

Orange is a great colour  ;D

Have been to someone who deals in them and the ones awaiting looking at are all rusty in the same places(wheel arches) I had an older ducato and there was no rust whatsoever!Do you find this to be a common problem?Or is it just something to put up with?

transits have always rusted. I also have a relay same age as transit 03 no rust what so ever on that, but have cost me over 5 grand in repair bills. Transit rust can be sorted for £100 ish not bad at the mo so will get round to doing it in the summer
