I want a new van

[acaciaguy]

It has to be able to fit 8 x 4 in it comfortably as well as the general kit. Any thoughts. Advice greatly appreciated

Not really , it's down to budget , can't think there are many bad vans being made nowadays

I’ve got a 17 plate LWB Renault Trafic, i did moan at the start of my ownership but it’s actually a really versatile van.
And it only cost £10900 plus vat pre reg from Renault Retail, and came with 3 years 2 months warranty and roadside assistance.
Had it valued recently at £9300 plus vat with 18000 miles on it.

I find it best to buy at Christmas as the deals can be really good.

That sounds like a great deal. Will have a look. What were your original moanings about ?

It's usually more the engines to be fair. Those cross-over ones when two brands go quids in on one model but both name it as their own can suck.

But then again some rock as a result I guess so that wasn't helpful at all lol

Got a brand new pre registered transit custom in April, 50 miles on the clock, manufacturers warranty from pre registered date, was registered in Oct last year...£6k cheaper than brand band new

Small things like the DAB radio reception and coming out of a Transit Custom it didn’t have the insulated bulkhead and that it ran on adblue.

Nearly all run on that now don't they?

Yeah I think they do.

It seemed to use more in the first 10000 miles than in the last 8000.

I'm on 1500 miles and haven't had a warning to put any adblue in yet...sure sales woman (might be wrong) told me about every 7000 miles needs filling up..
