OK for a day out I suppose..

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Not the best name though

Have been reading up about the new Transits and apparently the engines they are now using are not very reliable
Had a new Custom in 2014 and that wasn’t a bad van.

Oh yes, apparently the door locks are still rubbish on new Transits

Good idea though if vauxhall are backing the van and the build, saves all this servicing oo ah of going to two different dealers.

1. When did Ford ever have a decent lock?

2. Vauxhall I had one once taught me how to complain! Never again.

Ha ha... I don't heat or eat, Mo. Wouldn't dream of going into debt like that. Was just interested.

I asked because despite what people's experiences are with Vauxhall.. I have an old, 2 door hatchback vauxhall corsa that I doubt anyone on here would be seen as a passenger even. Touch wood it has been a brilliant little car for me with no problems at all and plenty of mpg. I guess I was lucky.

Vivaro same as a Renault traffic, did 100s of thousands miles in one when I was a driver, fantastic van as is the master we have now.

Use to run the Trafic and Vivaro vans in my fleet, good to drive but got to be careful as they had issues with the injectors seizing in the head and also after 100k the gearbox goes bang on certain year models.

Had both of them problems , not my van so didn't have the bill, but still good to drive, and would think they have sorted that by now

I bought 2 new Vivaro minibuses in 2010 both had gearbox issue and a trading that luckily was under warranty that had a new engine after injector issues.
I have a Vivaro now that me and my son use for taking the motorbikes and mountain bikes out in, lovely drive and very comfy but it has the Bi-turbo 1.6 lump and is terrible at pulling away unless you are in 1st gear, is doing 37mpg though

Both nice vans but unfortunately they are up against the mighty VW that has a cult following. IMO both are probably better vans than the VW but come sale time the VW will hold it's price a lot better. Say in 5 yrs time the VW will be worth 1/3 more than the other 2 and at 10 years it will be double the price....invest wisely

I had been used to driving old mercs and tranny's, and when the boss said we were going to Renault's I was dumbstruck, but wow , first time out couldn't believe it, comfortable as any car , quiet, and wow again, fast as s..t off a shovel, loved it.
But yeah at seventy odd thousand , one morning ,set off , only done half a mile and it just stopped dead, from running perfect, apparently it had eat the injector pump from inside and had metal fillings everywhere inside, cost £700 to put right, then gearbox went at 100 thousand, don't know what that cost.

I had a 2006 vivaro work van, nice to drive, can't remember the mileage but it only ever had new disc brakes and pads. (mind you they weren't cheap)

 

[gus-lopez]

they did have ones with wet cam belts but had trouble with them

& what lunatic invented that? To go from a chain to that defies belief.

 

[Vipar]

Horses for courses. I would rather buy a bigger van second hand. Don’t want to run to the loo in the middle of the night

You can buy a bigger pvc than any of the "smaller" ones mentioned new. The VWs start about 23k plus vat as a unconverted van.Fiat Ducato start around £17500 + vat
