i always look on carsurvey.org, they give users comments on any car or van

Single out the bits you want to read...?

I rest my case.
All vans go wrong when fat builders and delivery drivers abuse them.

i have had 3 transits (all pre 52) and my dad has had numerous transit minibuses and unless your into starlight miles they have all been good reliable wagons.

always had transits , i do agree i dont think the built quality is as good as what it used to be but i still like them, i think that generally across the board they are  still a pretty good van. just my opinion ;)

The new Tarsit sport looks really nice and not silly money when compared to other vans,saw 1 the other day £14000 + vat on an 08 plate with 500 miles.

We use an Mitsubishi L200 Warrior bouble cab, thats 5 man crew cab Black, has nice refinements all leather, aircon, sat nav, DVD PLAYER and is solid as a Rock!

Plus the added bonus of 4x4. Would not want any other vehicle!

So far not had any issues on them... well I had a guy hit me up the rear at 60mph! His vehicle was a right off. He did not even brake! Still only a few scratches on mine... all repaired... but bought a newer model now.

you will also have a harder job justifying price increases.

If i got a Transit that would be the 1 i`d get i`m afraid as there the only 1 that dosen`t look like a box from the back,with the extra bits on the sport it makes it look more streamlined and less boxy if you know what i mean.

its a tool to make money not a fashion parade ;)

if the didn't have the viper stripes on them they would look decent but to decent for an employee to drive!!!

60mph? A few scratches?
Don't you mean 6mph? ;D
You'd be dead if it was 60mph.

Did it kill a few sheep and break some of the bales though?

Ive had my Nissan Primaster for 2 years got it new in Dec 2006 so far mechanically no problems and have done over 19000 miles but there has been a few minor problems like the fuel gauge it jumps from 4bars to 1bar and then back to 4 again but seems to be working ok again.The oil gauge jumps from half full to empty on a weekly basis and now the hand brake light and stop light started to come on to when driving just cant be arsed taking it to a garage.Another thing the drivers door handle has started to fall apart but saying all that i love the van and when i buy another van i will probably buy the same one.

Just got a letter from Nissan today there is a vehicle recall with my Nissan Primaster ive to go to my local Nissan dealer ASAP as there is a fault with the hand brake cable wich may result in the hand brake not braking. Additionally there is also a problem with the engine Harness"there is a possability that the Air Pipe may damage the Harness.Ultimately this can lead to engine stall or failure to start the engine.Makes me wonder how good the van actually is.
