Good luck Rich, you're gonna need it I would have thought you'd have avoided buying French, being a farmer and all that!

I'm just biased due to the fact that I've had a bad experience, our Scenic spent half of it's time at the garage, the mechanic used to rub his hands when I turned up (On my push bike).

Bon garage!

Ive got the Nissan version 56 plate got it new 2 years ago only done 20,000 miles starting to get a lot of problems the electrics are a joke my fuel gauge goes up as well as down when driving according to my oil gauge its been empty since i got the van now the handbrake light keeps coming on to now problems with the brakes and when i put it into reverse it makes a loud creaking noise at the first chance i get going to buy a mwb Transit and then save up for a truckmount.

Clinton, I failed my French exam along with a lot of others, I tend to use French like Derek Trotter

I got a Citroen Relay van off Steve Gunn less then a year ago.
Been just fine, and just gone thro a MOT - cost me £210 inc a service, MOT, couple rear wheel cylinders and new tie bar on the front.
On Ebay you can get 03 reg for £2k little more and even less, one there now with about 60k on the clock.
I reckon they are a good buy.

Was going to ask you how your van went on

Sounds as though it was a good result.

Think steve had looked after it

Your right on the vans they seem to be dropping every week in price.

Thing is they arnt selling any new ones and when they do the discount is v good so forcing the used ones down in price.

58 plate with 77k on clock, so if you took delivery on the first day Sept 08, you have done 13,000 miles a month every month, 3,250 every week,500 miles every day 7 days a week 7 hours solid driving at 70mph. Bearing in mind that the van must be off the road 1 day every month so the 12,000 mile service can be carried out. That is some mileage glad i dont have your fuel bill
09 merc today and new transporter next week,
Whats your secret to beating the credit crunch?

i think susan is on about her other business which i think is some sort of haulage or delivery, don't think she means her carpet cleaning business, all though i could be wrong.
