Dont get a Vivaro Traffic or Primastar?

Before a 56 plate lots of problems

[kevinc]

[deeege]

after a 56 pate are the vivaro/primastar/traffic ok?

yes, excellent vans.

[kevinc]

fiat ducato?

[dave.e]

mines a 57 plate and its been fine no problems

[Stewart01]

im running a 2008 vivaro and love it, Did have a 2002 SCUDO before that that wasnt to bad either!!

[Mike #1]

anybody got a citroen nemo looking to get a van next year looks a good little van

[kevinc]

many thanks for replies,i've probably around 4k to spend on a van-not too keen on a transit there good though a bit builder-ish need something different-can you get a good reliable van for 4k?

[SB Cleaning]

Expert,dispatch,scudo you will get a gud un for that money

[Nameless Drudge]

You ought to get a nice 55/56 plate scudo/dispatch/expert with sensible miles and good history for that inc. hdi models,cambelt change history and documented is a must. If you dont mind plodding the 1.9d non turbo is a reliable engine.
                 Try buy a van and have £500 left for the unexpected.

[kevinc]

is there a bigger fiat than the scudo/dispatch?just need the space as have to carry a bit(repair windows/doors as well as w/c)

this is what im running now its ok but useless on fuel 220 miles to a full tank plus i work alone no good for a 2 man plus if you want to ever put anything else in like a pressure washer and grr this vans to small im currently looking to go back to the bigger transit

[formb]

Landrover 110

[kevinc]

thats what i'm thinking boldy need to get a bigger van than i need at  the mo so i can carry more/do more work

[prestige cleaners]

i use a fiat scudo 2.0 tdi 56 plate, get between 500-600 miles out of the tank (80litres)

good van so far, but have heard of over people have had problems.

might get a ford transit next as i hear they are good?

well if this thing starts playing up, there is a squeaking noise coming from a rear wheel
