No problems at all. Lots will have at least a 600 litre tank in this type of vehicle it has a payload of just over 1000kg.

I wouldn`t go for any vivaro-primastar-trafic on that reg plate,dodgy gearboxes galore.For that type of van look for the model that has the new euro 4 engine it has a revised engine and gearbox and is more reliable than past ones.

There the newer ones i`m afraid,you will be better off in the long run if you buy an ex demo van,don`t buy a brand new one they`ll charge you £500 delivery fee even if it`s on the fourcourt.Back in a bit,tea time.

Yet thousands of people have had no problems with them. ::)

Don't let a couple of people's bad experiences put you off getting what you want.

Hi

I have a nissan primastar on an 03 plate and never had a problem. I think it is the vauxhall and renualt that have the problems.

Do you guys find the van ok getting in and out of driveways?

Also is the 1.9 engine good enough for a 500L tank?

It`s a joint effort from all 3 companys ie renault-vauxhall-nissan,i loved these vans and then i made the mistake of taking a transporter 174 out for a test drive.

They're all identical.

I've got a Renault.
It's got a Renault engine with lots of Vauxhall parts, and a Nissan gearbox.

It's the best of all 3 makes.

I needed a new gearbox in my 03 Trafic after 39,000 (under warranty).  Now that I know that they have revised the gearboxes, I would buy a newer one though as they are a lovely drive for a van.  I have the 2.9 tonne version.  If I get one of these next time, I would go for the LWB.  Won['t be changing it till October 2010 though as that's when the loan runs to.

How many miles has it done and does the gearbox feel like your dragging a stick through bricks lol,like i say i like the look of them vans but when i test drove 1 although it was brand new the gearbox felt nowhere near as smooth as the transporter.
