Help need a bit of feedback on which van to buy

[AETilingFloorin]

Best van I ever owned was a small vauxhall combo, had a small fire in the cab - no problems, leaked oil but levels never went down, could take corners beautifully. Called it the 'stealth van' after we painted it matt black.

My advice get a transit never realy known much to go wrong from my experience and even if it does they are so common you will always find parts.

I had a peugeot expert, great van, until the lad who works for me got hold of it, then blew up
I have a 09 vito, even better van.
Id steer clear of the fiat , never heard a good thing about scudos, ever

Fiat have loads of problems, I currently drive a ducato and it has all the common problems.

looking at a transit today dave, if that's a pile of poo where you working next week..?

I have a long wheelbase, high top, transit connect, with two side doors.. I have to say, it's perfect for me.. I don't even have to get in the back, as you can get to everything from one door, or another. ply and plasterboard have to go on the roof, which is a bit of a pain, but not the end of the world...
