I am fancing a Nissan NV200.......what are they like Lee, reliabilty wise?

they are made by nissan....so the engines and gearbox etc...are bullet proof......the one I have is top of the range so

satnav,Bluetooth phone,reversing camera...etc....its a great little van and drives like a car.....the downsides are.....

flimsy build quality (most vans are these days!) payload of 700kg.....

thats about fair........but it does go like a rocket....and its only a 1.5 diesel turbo!!!!!

all the best

2012 Transit Trend... full electric pack.

Awesome van..

 

[dingabell]

Does anyone drive a Transit Connect? I'm looking at getting one for starting out but have no idea if it'll be big enough?

 

[DHTiling]

I had one for 2.5 yrs before I got a bigger van , the connect is a cracking van.

I've found that my mitsubishi l200 with the added back up of my trailer if needs be, suits my needs.

my trailer has a frame that doubles it's height and a fitted tarpaulin to keep things dry.

I can honestly believe it, if I had the money I would be in the bidding.

 

[Andy Tiler]

it actually costs you more to build one yourself with all the man hours that go into them... better off buying one finished. imho.. :/

 

[Gazzer]

You dont need to preach to me, I know how rare good pick ups are !.

 

[Andy Tiler]

4 mins left wonder what hell get??? lol

 

[Gazzer]

Someone got a right bargain. i reckon who ever bought that needs to get it registered with the film people, they may money for stuff like this

I hope this is in the right place, if not I hope a mod can move it for me. I have just changed my Peugeot Expert for a Transit, anyone who saw my old van on the inside Nick (Macten) is one who did, would never believe this.

I am working on a bathroom/steamroom atm, the problem is there is nowhere to set up a cutting station, the first couple of days I set my Dewalt and my flat bed up outside, got wet through most of the time, then I had a brainstorm, I have not transfered all my tools from the old van yet. So I set up the Dewalt and flatbed in the back of the Transit. Works a treat, but I think this may be the first and last time I will be able to do this, I'm sure I will fill this van, as I did the last one, but for now happy days.

You'll have to get a bigger van phil....
Ha ha..good idea though mate

 

[DHTiling]

How did you reach phil , not the tallest of chaps are ya :lol:

 

[Bubblecraft]

You got the space, may as well use it before its filled! Mine is racked to high do. No space to do inside. I have a marquee/gazebo that I use externally for wet cuts outside or mitres on Worktops etc. comes in handy & folds right down

No gazebo necessary when you have a tailgate

 

[Bubblecraft]

A nice snap on awning round that tail gate would be sweet

[Bubblecraft]

Found it here - http://www.camperconversions.com/used-vehicles/ex-demo/

I'll have a look and see if I can find one for a Vavario

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Bl00dy show offs,:lol:

 

[Bubblecraft]

Can see one but easy enough to make one with a tarpaulin & some snap fasteners

Just had a look myself, been after something for a while, just to stop the wind and rain blowing in. Be nice to have something specific to the van, probably cost a few quid though!
