Post by: Michael Peterson on March 20, 2013, 01:41:00 pm
doblo 56 plate broke down in January, timing chain snapped on 50k £3-500 van
bought a swb transit, for 3-500k and 10 weeks later the oil filter housing cracked drained the oil out and wrecked the engine, scrapped !

bought another Ducatto 2-000 couldnt start it today immobiliser wont turn off, no garages will touch it, its currently in a fiat garage, waiting a massive bill no doubt.

Sounds like you have been really unlucky.
Might be worth considering some form of warranty for your vehicle.
Probably a bit late now for your immobiliser issue, but AA provide vehicle warranties as do other companies.
Vehicles can be a nightmare sometimes.

Where are you buying your vans? I friend of mine has been buying / selling vans for 20+ years and tells some horrific stories about what some firms will do to shift a van on. Hopefully you havnt been going to the same place for all of your vans?
