only in as much as you can trot faster and carry more tools on your back

I also have the Connect, built like a brick outhouse, not out of french monkey metal. I know which one I would rather have an accident in.

 

[BigBreakfast]

lovin the replies, French still a sore point I see!

Been lookin at the connect too and will take your thoughts on board.

Thanks all.

the kangoo is the frogs revenge for waterloo, ( and for sinking their navy in 1940 )

I wouldn't reccomend the old Mk1 kangoo to anyone. Cant comment on the new ones though.

 

[armbands0]

Gosh you don't like Kangoo's. I have one (DCI) it is nice to drive approx 50mpg but I would say it is not big enough for installations.

Connect is larger but when I replace my Renault it will be with a full size Transit.

If you get one, although after the above rave reviews why would you, keep the rev's up or the egr valve will become sticky and the engine will not function correctly.

i've had a brand new combo from work and it was OK, nothing special but just alright.

i've now just other day been given a brand new berlingo and so far it seems great. Only little issue is quite a few storage pockets in front but none of them seem to be big enough for my crap LOL.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Indeed! Those pockets are much needed for sweets, cd's, invoices, tissues, tools, three mobiles, pens, shaver, cuddly toy! lol.

More pockets please.

 

[jedisparks]

speaking to 2 mechanics the other day, i asked what van i should get next, they recommended transit and said anything by renault is S**t. Ford parts very reasonably priced and good quality support available apparently. Not true for renault!

 

[BigBreakfast]

Thanks for all replies folks,

Have sussed that anythin French is to be avoided!
