both front shocks have gone/ steering rack as gone/ and track rod ends. its getting harder to start first thing in the morning had it checked out and it looks like the glow plugs/ heater relay could be on the way out and on the vivaro its not cheep to replace the glow plugs. so on top of everything else its time for us to part ways.

You'll find the newer vivaro
Ain't a Renault trafic
It has the better newer engine
Not the Renault dci engine
The F9Q engine is poor

It's a shame it's got to go but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the transit will serve me well.
I mite even fit a loo in the back there's enough room.

I have a 58 plate transit mwb med roof better than my previous transit but the keys are a bloody pain they charge from the ignition and the battery in them is not replacable so if you do lots of stop start journeys they start to play up mine is also a lpg/petrol

No it was 18 months old when I got it from a dealer who aquired it from a bankrupcy auction it was a factory fitted conversion by Ford made for a london company operating inside the congestion zone (lpg being zero rated as far as the congestion charge was concerned)

Just bought a T350 lwb medium roof, 2004 welfare unit, ex network rail. Just had new engine, diesel pump, water pump, clutch and brake system.

8 seats for the family, system in the back for work. Sign written today.

Betcha I can still blow it up in six months. ;D

I had a 52 plate lwb hi roof. Great van only issue was its size so parking can be a pain. Load space is fantastic an I got mid 20's mpg fully loaded. One of the things I loved was my ladders fitted inside the van so it was all a bit neater. Also the added bonus you could stand up in the back is handy.

Great vans the transits. All vivaros new an old shape are prone to going bang. I'd never have one. Once you've had issues with the old one you'd be mad to buy another surely ;)
