Don't you have a Modus and a Kangoo??
The Partner/Berlingo is a very good van, I've seen them with 200k + on the clock and still going strong.

I shudder to admit it, but, I liked the Vauxhall Movano and Renault Master vans that I had when I was at Iguana/eagaheat/CES. I absolutely loathed the transit. The main issue I had was with the long service intervals and the cheapskates at the lease company. Service interval was 24K, brake pads lasted around 30K. Surely the sensible thing would be to change them at 24 but no they're not due so let's just leave them until the brakes ail at 30K and new discs are needed as well. Apparently it was my fault as I should have checked them! The company didn't deem me competent to change my own wheels but were confident that I could check the brakes. A simple thing like a wear sensor would have helped but the first indication I got was when I stood on the brakes and a horrible screeching sunded from under the van.

Couple months ago I took the plunge and changed my 07 Vivaro for a new transporter LWB
Here she is
Got her all shelved out with roller bearing units, never been so organised.
Now that is a thing of beauty but I'm guessing you paid for it!

Hi, i have a Nissan NV200. My major likes is that 3 m of pipe i can get inside as it will slide under the passenger seat with the removal of part of the bulkhead. Van is really easy to manoeuvre, i work mainly as a service engineer & it suits me fine.

We have Transit Short wheelbase vans - semi hi tops with 6 speed gearbox -all under 1 year
cause they are on lease
Full tank costs £110.00 max and they run all day long for 8 hours + at 80 + we have had 110 out of one on the level near Chepstow on the dual road bit wwhere we know there are no cams
So last week we (I and Dirty dave ) did a job at some place near Brighton
- south coast ish. Full tank at west lancs - it ran all day we were there at 0800am
rtn and it needed a little drink of derv at juncton 16 northbound m6 while we were trying
out the new Burger King
Upshot I cannot fault the latest trannies well laid out cab wise and - well we think
the 2 litre holes for lemo/coke could be chilled and maybe a micro wave in the
shot guns hopper - CHK

Been happy with the Nissan, the only thing is has a small fault with the electronic sensor for the accelerator. Will get it fixed under warranty. It can sometimes be a bit un responsive.

VW Transporter for me in red. T28 model 130BHP! Love the van, I had a Toyota hiace before but it's got nothing on the transporter!
How many miles is this to a tank?
How many miles to a tank on the Vivaro/Traffic 115 engine if anyone has one? (+how much to fill)
How many miles to a tank on the VW Transporter? (+and how much to fill)
Interested to see what others are getting real fuel economy wise. Sometimes the fuel saving is enough to warrant a new van in itself.

Bought the nv200 just to increase bottom line. Merc lwb high top sprinter. Sprayed twice and it's a rusty heap. 2009. Transits just full of junk.
My vw t28 102 is approx £90 to fill and I get 510 -530 miles.
