New van time fancy a change

[Nostrum]

Nissan nv200 is smaller than a vivaro or transporter. I looked into them, very good on fuel 1.5 diesel and not to flat on power. Feel a bit like postman pat when sat in it though. Engines are supposed to be very reliable but not a fancy van, does its job. Quite narrow which can be a bonus in the country lanes.

Had a VW transporter and a crafter both had problems, gearbox on transporter under warranty, lots under warranty on the crafter. The vw commercial dealer where I am is ****e though, just change parts and give you it back even when the light on the dash is still on driving out their carpark!

to be honest I don't think there is a single van that doesn't have problems? My next can will be a lease I think, give it back when the warranty is out. Generally you hear less issues with transporters than anyone else.

The Nissan nv200 has the Renault engine. French, yuk!

Ive heard of failed gearboxes on Transporters and hydro locking from leaky injectors on LT,s.

My transit engine is French. French engines are ok it's the electronics systems that ruin froggs

Wrong wrong wrong! They should stick to cheese and wine, play to your strengths.

Renault scenic is the typical frog mobile

They all have their problems you can find a common fault with every van. I know someone with a fiat scudo with 140k on the clock and never had a thing go wrong , yet a mate of mine works in a commercial dealer garage and says they are THE most unreliable and problematic van that comes to them. I think its down to luck these days, you get a good'un or a complete nail.

New transit connect 3 seater looks nice

We hire a lot of trucks - from a very astute operation. The owner tells me that some
of the citroen trucks we hire have the same engine as the transits that we also hire from them.

Not as good in cab but loads cheaper. Centralheatking

The doors don't fall off the transits though

My mates got a fiat, which is the same van as the peugout. Bits of trim keep falling off and sliding doors refuse to work.
