cheers for the feed back fellas.

I'm after reliability more than a bargain. the van that has just died on me was a bargain or so i thought.

My wife says she would much rather me by new and have the 3 year warranty. I've been to ford garage and really like the look of a new transit connect high top LWB. so unless i get this hiace at a total snip i'm hopefully gonna get one of them. any one got 1? are they a good van to use wfp? hoping to get a 600ltr tank in it.

Citroen dispatch is a good alternative and has a better payload.

the Citroen dispach is a bit more exspencive its also french and i'd rather not buy french

sorry your right. but haven't fiat's got a rep for being sheds? i may well be wrong but i dont ever recall any one having any thing nice to say about them

Scudo/Dispatch/Expert all the same van probably made in the same factory!

And I wouldn't fancy any of them really 

We use Transit vans and can't fault them to be honest. Not super quick, not ours anyway, but plenty of room inside for wfp, hoovers and, more importantly, fishing gear

    french crap just thinking about that heap of /.;/.  makes me mad.

thats what i thought but i was informed the van, suspension are the same but they all have there own engines and gear boxes much like the vauxhall, Renault and Nissan versions of the vivaro.

the vauxhall vivaro is known to be a good reliable van but the renault version has the reputation of being unreliable and an awful gear box.
