Recommendations for: New van

[daspark]

Hi there!!!

Might seem a little random but I have been working out of an estate car. Always did me proud, however it is time to get a small van. I will be buying second hand. Need something that has good reliability and will run well.
What have you got???
Recommend???

deffo get one with side loading doors. i got a nissan vanette. just big enough for me. toyota hiace is nice. don't like french vans ever since renault trafic badged as a nissan primastar. more time off the road than on it.

ford transit connect diesel 2 litre, very reliable, though utter ****e when the roads have 1mm of snow on them, has been abandoned a few times over the last couple of months, full of tools aswell!

Had very troublesome VW T5 transporter for 7 LONG years! got shot of it end of last year, now very happy owner of Transit connect hi-top, long wheelbase tdci diesel 1800cc.
Great, can get 8x4 sheet of ply inside upright if needs be.
Full mesh screen, which if passenger seat folded down, half screen turns along side driver to give long length inside. eg full lengths of mini trunking, long ladders etc so no need for noisy roof bars.
I'm luvin it!

Hopefully I've got one coming next week..... only an '03 but I'm happy with that.

Just the 75hp one, but for £140 I can get it wound up to 100hp with nye on double the torque too..
