FightTheBan 1,147 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 fuk transits mate, they need 2 front tyres every 4 to 6 months, they guzzle fuel even a 2 ltr like i got rid of a few months ago, they also rust like fuk, there good when there ging but when they start going wrong it seems like it 's one thing after another. plus the tax is £220 something around that. i got a little berlingo now but i have also had a kangoo there both brilliant little run arounds and if lamping standing on the back you can see better than you do in a transit. go for a berlingo partner or kangoo you will no go wrong with one of them cheap little run abouts Heard good things about kangoos aswell. What mileage do things start going tits up with them? if regularly serviced etc. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 A second hand VW caddy is still 10k and trying to find a good low miles one is very difficult. Like rocking horse shit. If I didn't need it by tomorow I would hold off for a caddy but I can't. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Plus I can't justify lurchers,gundogs and terriers etc in a 10k van. I'd be afraid to put a dog in it lol. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chimp 299 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 you lot havent got a clue have you?? !!! get one of these , proper babe magnet , shit on fuel due to the heavy spoiler but that dont matter , reliable as you wont be going far in due to all the 'bump and grinding' you will be doing in the back. good for lamping aswell as the police will never take you serious in it . job done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
