Transit.

[trevor povey]

vivaro, new as possible,decent van drives like a car and holds the weight, a o6 redg u can probabley pick up for 6 ish.

if you intend to push the boat out go for the new peugeot partner its smaller than the vivaro and has a bigger payload,only problem may be the price at lesat 10 for a second had one

[Slash]

Definetly a Transit,you can't go wrong!

Transit.

I wouldn't touch another Transit with a 10 foot barge-pole (well unless it wasn't mines and I was fitting a system in it) I had one that had done just over 100000 miles and the fuel pump needed replaced, £1200.  After 18 months and less than 10,000 miles the same thing needed done again.  £1200 is a bit much every 10,000 miles.

Agreed - my Doblo's (56) fine and a mates Scudo (07 and prior shape) is too. The Despatch/Expert are good too.

Spoke to my garage when I had new clutch put in, as mines a 52 plate trafic, I said its a known fault of this reg and he said the newer ones are worse and that youll start hearing a lot more people moaning about the newer ones soon when they start getting the problem of gear box and cluth

transit... reliable, been around, a long time..... parts cheaper and easier to get than most vans...easier to work on... wider than vivaros/traffic... and  payload better than most similar sized vans....

i went through 1 whole year of looking for a van...  and i would say 80% of every mechanic, salesman, or any other person who knows what they are on about.........

chose transit , head and shoulders above.

so i got one.... full 650 tank of water in the back... the transit does not even know its there.... good on fuel and power.

and i love it.


until the usual problems come, lol.... which they will.... new clutch, exhaust etc...... like any other vehicle.

Vivaro, quick, comfortable, great on fuel and looks the best

[Alex Gardiner]

A VW Transporter T5 1.9 diesel 102PS engine. Real world testing has proved this to be the most economical van of its size on the planet. Any of the four payload versions would carry a 500 litre tank.

[boshravie]

Yes Alex is right.
We have had ours for the past 5 years, and I cant fault this van, you pay a little more but in the long run is one of the best vans.

Bosh
