this isnt having a go at any one, but there seems to be a lot of newbies lately on here and out whilst i am work starting up, asking for advice and then not following it
there is a magic fornula to have a successful business
1 knock doors and get custy
2 get paid and come back 4 weeks later
3 repeat 1 and 2 till you have enough custys
4 dont go and blow 6 grand on a ionics system if you dont have any custys, start of with a diy system and then upgrade
this business has been done this way for years, find some one who is successful and copy them,

;D
thats about it ;) summed up easiest business in the world
-
correct
some people are just not like that
-
if i was tol blow 6 k on a machine again it would be with brodex, awsome machines best warranty, no come backs.
my formula= knock doors leads to hefty bank ballance leads to brodex getting rich leads to my company getting bigger leads to staff knocking doors leads to even bigger bank ballance leads to awsome xmas partys on me, leading to starting all over again on each day finaly leads to my family being very happy which brings me very neatly on to leading my way to mexico next week for 3 weeks whilst staff clean.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Ronnie,
I haven't got a Vivaro myself but know 3 customers who have them and they haven't experienced any of the issues some of the guy's on here have reported. Whilst that doesn't bring any consolation to those who have experienced problems, the problem is that we never get to see the whole picture. In other words, how many vehicles have a certain problem compared to those that don't.
As many of you know I worked for Bosch Power Tools in South Africa for many years in the After Sales Service division. We had a Service workshop in Johannesburg and had one technician repairing angle grinders virtually full time. One day I was wandering around the workshop and this technician said to me that he felt Bosch Angle Grinders where rubbish (he used a different expression) and if he were to buy an angle grinder it would never be a Bosch. When I asked him why he felt that way his answer was from the number of machines he repaired all day.
In South Africa it was widely recognised that Bosch had the best value for money grinder on the market. Metabo was better, but was much more expensive, so this came as an eye-opener for me. This techinician only saw a piece of the jigsaw which affected his motivation. It was only when we put a list of new product sales on the notice board every month and compared them to the number of repairs with a percentage against sales that their perception changed.
By the way, one of those 3 customers of mine had his turbo 'blowup'. He couldn't switch the engine off as the engine was running on its own oil. He stuck the van in 6th gear and stalled the engine on the brakes. New turbo fitted and everything was fine again. Haven't heard anyone complaining of a blown turbo on this site as far as I can remember.

Ive got a Nissan Primaster and iam coming to the end of my 4 year lease i had to replace the clutch at 28,000 miles dont no if i was just unlucky but apart from that and some dodgy electrics its been a good van iam even thinking of buying it from the leasing company i can get it for £4750+vat and its only done 34,000 mile either that or buy a transit.

i have a 55 plate vivaro no probs , i think its brill at momen , touch wood.

I have an 03 plate Trafic.
I have had a few things go wrong sooner than they should have (most notably gearbox at 39,000 under warranty and steering pump around 54,000) but overall it hasn't been too awful. Maybe I would feel differently if I had had to pay for the gearbox.
