Title: van
Post by: IHC on March 14, 2011, 04:35:03 pm: Hi , Here is a loaded question what van would you buy next... £5000 budget, to carry at least 300 litres of water. Would you go combo, astra(attractive), caddy (expensive) I will let you fill in the rest...what a maze..oh I live 600 ft up in Kent..nice Big hills..

Yes I know, Only yesterday I had to tow my brother he has a Ford transit and the gearbox went on him... trail of oil everywhere...ON ABOUT 40,000+ so I think it might be the way they are driven possibly.

All you need to do is type in Google trouble with such and such and you will get a mine field on every vehicle and wish you had not purchased it.

I think its the luck of the draw if you get a good one. If I had my way I would choose Jaguar... but they don't do Vans. My Jags run and run but are no good for carrying stuff and a little juicy especially the 6 litre V12.
