Been looking around one of these Vans, but i thought i would ask you guys who own them what you all think, i have a  52 peugeot expert at the moment , but would prefer something a bit bigger, room, comfort and a little more power.

Cheers.

Gary.

Gary Im looking for a van too, I called in at van master in bradford other day .  He said the vivaro engine isnt the best !  He said they have a tendancy to go wrong , even the newer ones - His words not mine 

[geefree]

thanks all.

i too have heard that Jonah, are the other two engines the same ?  traffic and primaster, as i do like the vans...and as jayke said, one or two people have also said they are like driving a car.... also my poles and gear would be in more comfort

  Van masters phone number is = 01274 728139 .  we were there an hour , and he gave some really good advice about best vans . He has a movano in at moment on a 03 plate for 3 n half k !

I think it is the gearbox not the engine which is at fault, more precisely the clutch cylinder leaks, i believe, causing problems with clutch judder and iffey gear change, the cylinder is in the gearbox bell housing.

I do occasionally get judder in 2nd gear.

Ive got an 07 reg Movano - probably better than any van I have ever driven - and we have 3 others, Transit, Sprinter and Astra.

High top I can stand up in the back - 7 foot head height.

Very comfortable drive - good looking van

thanks m.. and everyone..

sounds a nice van.. is it ok for general work, as it does seem large but im not criticising it.... would be nice to walk around though inside 

do all the vivaros/primaster/and traffic have the same problems or is it just the vivaro?

anyone?

Garry only thing putting me off getting one is the size !  I am rubbish at parking , and live in a terrace lol . Spoke to a few people who have them , and they are all happy with em 

[jaykie]

Apparently its all 3 before the 53 plate i think, but i took the risk and bought one

[geefree]

cheers i really like the look of vivaro... over a transit say... some say a ducato, are ok too.. its hard,

[jaykie]

you wont regret buying one if you get the right one.

I am looking at getting new van on lease or hire thingy , trouble is after my divorce I got a bad credit rating , so dont know the best option ( hint ) to go for   .  

[jonah]

Man at van masters said for the money ldv is the best !   Ugly yes , but they have a transit engine 

[geefree]

That should not matter too much these days, but having said that after all the money the banks have given/loaned freely over the past ten years seems to be over so it may be more difficult later this year.

which are the best. vivaro/ traffic or primaster...

i have an expert.. and people say there is a difference mechanically between that and the scudo and dispatch.

[geefree]

Man at van masters said for the money ldv is the best ! Ugly yes , but they have a transit engine

yes they are ugly and i once borrowed one .. it gobbled fuel and pulled like an old lady.

[NWH]

If you buy a new 1 really push for extras,things are slow at the moment and the sales staff know this.The prices on the screens and in the mags mean nothing these days,shop around for purchase lease or hire,i hate those a-hole salesman.

Gary I did a poll on here about vans , and wfp , you need to work out how much water you are going to use , then get a vauxhaull movano ( I have spent many hours , asking many people ) . Just my opinion , but it will give you a bit of room to expand your tank   . By the way would be good to have a gossip with you seeing as you are local

lol. good idea .. i have a 650 tank which is mainly for comfort... so i dont have to fill it constantly... having said that i am nearly at full stretch now... so using plenty... hence all my employment questions for the near future.

i dont want to sit sill, nor do i want to do the whole thing myself for the rest of my life... as soon as i can afford i will employ and free myself up to build/split ..build/split

anyway thats a different topic.... i do go on dont i?
