transit, they seem to be the most reliable..

Personally I'd get a vivaro, I've had this one for 3 years now and will get another when I change this.

Transit all the way for me

Gotta be a transit. So much more reliable and loads of torq compared to others.

I have the renault traffic 10 years old now and i had it from new, its been a great van, i have been all over the country in her ,but the clutch started making a nose ,this week so took her to the garage this morning and they said there are a few big-jobs to do ,and when you weigh -up what its worth...........

How many miles has it got Dave?

I've been thinking about one myself recently although in reality it will be next year before I get one. I love my Trafic, done another 1900 miles in her over the last 2 weeks but I need something bigger. Will probably go for a lwb transit or something similar

Having owned 1 vivaro which is what I've got now..I use to have a variety of vans with my brother in a van hire business...we had 3 transits and they had head problems..but this was on 02 and 52 plate vans..Merc's rotted...renaults cost us lots!!!!..the Japanese vans we had never any issues with..all I can say is my vivaro is a nice size..done 134,000 and been great except for the gearbox..if your put to buy a new van then go for a drive...the new vivaro is out in September...so good deals will be had with the old model...I hunk the new transit is all bonnet and no bum...

140,000 Mate and i have looked after it ,ie services and repairs . probs end-up with another Renault or vivaro , have thought of smaller but thats just not practical ......

Transit every time
Just look at what the utility company's use the most. Also the parts are cheap and residual value is good .
