Is that a new (well, 6 year old now) shape?
Vans? Are they all total rubbish?

Those bi-sexual engines do seem an overly complicated setup. No doubt some emissions/fuel economy drivel to stop Eskimos getting wet feet.

It was hosing it doon. And I’ve got the full AA cover which I’ve hardly used in 10 years. So why have a dog and bark yourself

1.6 litre engine.
Bit much to ask that engine to pull over 3 ton laden.
The new trafic has a 2.0 engine now.
A mate of mine has just bought one 170 odd bhp and auto too.

I think it was the 1.6 that had a big issue but I think They are £500 an injector

Yes,,,,I don't do much mileage,consider myself a decent driver,not a ripper of engines,but a expensive repair for such a low mileage 35000 miles lifetime for a turbo is ridiculous. 2 mates have vivaros newer models than mine and they have multiple issues,gearbox,clutch sticking,humming noises etc,,,

Had transits, got sick of size (domestics, parking etc) so bought a Caddy maxi, custom retro rack for sheets, beads in downpipe through plastic bulkhead into ceiling shelf. Use Forte diesel cleaner to keep injectors from sticking. Beautiful to drive, get around town in, black with alloys, 66 plate bought last October for 9.5K + vat, wish I'd done this years ago.

I don't think I'd cope with a small van as they're so low down. I used a motorbike for 10 years commuting, then went self-employed 12 years ago and have had medium vans since then.
