Had no problems with mine.
Ian's had his for two years with no problems.
Got a mate with a Vivaro for three years, no problems.

Mike's just been unlucky.
It's a great van NWH, don't worry.

Wfp top and bottom and even on flat roofs.
I have told my customers this is a better result with purified windows.
I also had along time convincing myself that this is true.

Now they all seem to have accepted it......" I think"

I used to have an Escort 55 to carry my trad gear.  It got a bit embarrassing when the cyclists overtook me going uphill.

I've now got a Renault trafic (the 2.9 tonne version) and have an 800 litre tank in it.  I don't fill it beyond 700 though as there's a risk of overloading.  If I travelled light with other equipment I could probably fill it though.

I've had a Tonne in a traffic before without even realising (picked the van up did a drop off as a favour)

Drove ok i must say

I used to have an Escort aswell, 1.8 Diesel, definately better with the fred flinstone technique uphill
