Which Van is best for an electrical contractor?

[richy3333]

Another one in support of the Tranny. Just ordered one for myself after the Pick-up died. It's like looking for rocking-horse @£$% trying to find a used one at a reasonable price as they hold their value so well. Can't wait to get it

The van... or the Tai variety?

 

[High Tower]

Better than any VW

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Tranny = transit ?

 

[egginyourface]

transporter??

 

[egginyourface]

theres so many bad reviews for transporters and vivaros

its recking my brain choosing!!!

 

[davelerave]

are you doing big mileage

 

[IQ Electrical]

Just taken a Mitsubishi Barbarian for a test drive this morning and i'm blown away with it, every extra imaginable and a brilliant drive too!

Looks like I'll be going for it and I can't wait now!

 

[SPARTYKUS]

transporter??

Nope, Transit

 

[egginyourface]

gaffer just got a 54 transit from an auction 1600 quid, 120,000 on the clock, all tht it needed was 2 wheel bearings. trouble is with vivaros after 70,000 the gearbox tends to go

Transit all the way for me got a 2004 85ps T280 does the job.

anything jap is good as long as it's not made in france

anything is good as long as it isnt made in France

also in the market for a new small van

have vauxhall astra 1.7td been good as gold for 6 years passed every mot without a penny, had two tyres a starter and a battery thats it ,

thinking of another astra but lack of side door is putting me of
thinking of caddy seem to have a good reputation
and as a wild card thinking of Bipper diesel 60 mpg being the main reason just worried it will be to fragile

Just gone from an Astra sportive to a Transporter T5 (2008).... drives like a dream, no turbolag whatsoever, comfy as, loads of room - solid bit of German engineering
