dogmandont 9,814 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm driving a belingo now after the l200 I had completely busted my balls and my wallet, I'm after a mid sized van that has three full sized seats, kids still in child seats, will be used for dogs and work. Was thinking a citreon dispatch are similar. Any advise would be appreciated. 4.5 to 5 grand budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOM TERRIER 173 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Them dispatches are good vans, or put some seats in the back of a VW Caddy? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I,ve never known anyone that's owned a vivaro not to complain, they are shite, the only person I no that drives one today has put a private plate on it and decided to keep it forever because he has spent about three times what it's worth on maintenance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,814 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I have friends and work mates that drive traffics and vivaros and they've all had problems with them. I'm still in the berlingo and probably will be to after Christmas. I went and looked at a couple of dispatches but didn't like them, might go down the smaller crew van route. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mk 1 berlingo could go places the 14 plate berlingo cry wasn't as good, My dad who owned before had put decent tread tyres on it To much torque and the car based tyres let it down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,372 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I don't think any modern van is any better than the next, they all share parts made in the eu even the new transit is Renault powered, you either get a good one or a lemon, and when computer says no it stops, simple as that 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
