Yeah it was one the same shape as vivaro.

[Wrekin C S]

Read on here a while back vivaros have gear box problems or have they fixed problem on newer ones now? They are smart looking vans but unsure on reliabilty of them?

[Total shine cleaning services]

is the van your looking for- for a one or two man system..?

Newer vivaros bullet proof
My 07 2.0 cdti is superb

My 03 trafic nearly bankrupted me
It was the 1.9dci

The newer vivaros have cam chains not
Belts , which when the belt snaps
Is a very costly distressing time!!
Gearbox issues were resolved 06
IMHO excellent vans
Take a look at the toyota Hiace 2.5 turbo
Diesel transporter looks but cheaper
Bulletproof engines too

Thanks guys - looking at all vans atm what engines are in the traffic? is it vauxhall or renault? and whats the difference between the traffic/nissan/vauxhall

[Wrekin C S]

Forgot to say I currently have a transit been a reliable motor but it has suffered from rusting and dont want to go down that route again same as the merc sprinters nice vans but rust aswell, what are the vauxhalls and toyotas like rust wise?

[Mist A Bit]

i looked into having a 2003 iveco reviews are mixed. i drove one and loved it tho . best have a look at roadtestreports.com and get reviews on all vans. i ended up with toyota hiace and best thing i`ve ever had. its the only make i`d go with. when i finish work i drive a toyota landcrusier.
Toyota`s are awsome

[gary evans]

I have a 2003  & a 2007 hiace.

As they say Bullet proof ive had the 2003 from new & its out every day carrying 700l.

only reason is not using chemicals, plus i thought it sounded good.

[Dave Turley]

I've had my Toyota Hiace for 4 years now, it's never let me down!

They're the most reliable van you can get.

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

Primastar vivaro and trafic
Are the same van
They don't rust like the transits
Mine 03 was mint bodywise
It was the engine that was crap
Rebuilt twice !!
My 07 vivaro is superb
Engine wise 1.9
2.0
2.5
Mine is the 2.0 cdti 6 speed
Swb it's superb

Just bought a citroen dispatch l2 lwb before christmas, excellent van with 1200kg payloa, picking up another one next week 

[kurt]

I have a 2006 despatch, been fantastitc but iv,e herd some bad things about the new shape despatches, especialy the 1.6 .
But they look realy nice. I'm not sure what to get, but the toyota hiace has fantastic reviews. What are they like on the juice with that 2.5 engine.

[gary evans]

Hi Eco nice 1  its what made me interestedthanks for that, sounds really good.

Kurt. My Hiaces give me an average of low 30,s but thats fully loaded running round good on long journeys. Vivaro / Traffic more economical into 40,s but i still went for & would go for Toyota. They just never let you down.

My 03 other than an a repair on the sliding door that was caused by an employee just has regular maintance. i.e. 1 service a year with the mot.

Cheers Gaz,
