Bigger Van

[MTiler]

Hi Missy

I have the old style trafic which is a far superior van to the new ones, but difficult to find a decent one and unless your handy with the spanners I wouldnt reccomrnd one

my mates got a scudo and swears by it

dont buy

a fiat with g/box or electrical problems

citroen or peugeot with g/box problems

if any are stiff to engage gears, whine , or jump out of gear walk away as they are notorius for wrecking g/boxes from carrying weight and horrendousley expensive to repair

any reluctant starters as its nearly always the emu unit and they are an arm and a leg

and if your buying a diesel watch for smoke on start up

otherwise the pug, fiat etc are excellant workhorses and I can reccomend

Thanks for that Mike, i will keep all that in mind. Once the tax man has his bit I'll have a better idea of my budget.

cheers

I have the Renault Trafic and love it,
I'v had it over 3 years now and only 39,000 miles on it,i have loads of tools in it and can carry pallets of addy,tiles etc when needed.
Also it is extremely comfortable and easy on fuel,i just had it serviced lately and wasn't expensive.

I'll only add a vote for the Vauxhall Vivaro..superb for our trade..you can even sneak an 8 x 4 sheet inside...I can't praise mine enough..the most trouble free van I've owned..(bet i've just jinxed that now..MOT next week!:lol
