just befor xmas my old transit gave up 176ooo miles on the clock
got a merc vito 111 lwb 6 speed box 2150 cc 2 side sliding doors all racked out, mate of mine has one with 340000 miles on clock and still going strong love it

Yeah the more I look into it the more I think I'm better off getting a 6 month old lwb Vivaro and saving the 8k I'd need to spend to get a transit/crafter. I had 45mt of tiles in the back of the loan Vivaro yesterday and it was fine and dandy - bit slower but nothing to put you off. It's rare I'll have more than that in the back
