dytkos 17,783 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 All French motors are shite. I've got a Peugeot Partner, only reason is theres only a few manufacturers make small vans. Mines been well maintained, I've spent fooking loads on it but it pisses oil out but runs well lol. Got a brand new Merc Citan at work, it's a rebadged Renault Kangoo ffs, whoever designed it wants sacking, no flat surfaces to put a brew, got to move your hands from 10 to 2 position to indicate, got to open the door to get stuff out the door pockets, stereo from the 90s, pull all the usb wires out when you put the handbrake on, had to top it up with oil 3 times in 15,00 miles, I could go on .

poxon 5,718 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I’ve got a Peugeot partner work van I hate French motors there not for me I like German build quality in my cars but the German build vans are so over priced like the t5s an caddy’s bloody expensive. Think the vw passat estate makes a good dog wagon.I had a mk4 golf 1.8t that I used as a dog waggon for a bit plenty of room to get two large Lurchers in the back of once back seats were dropped Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicepix 5,650 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I bought a 15 year old Berlingo van for £1,000 with 115k on the clock, ran it for six years until it failed its MOT, by then it had almost 230k on the clock. In the time that I had it, apart from brakes shoes, cam belt and tyres all it needed was an alternator, clutch and front suspension linkages. THe only fault is that it was like Bambi on Ice off road. I now have a Berlingo Multispace with 4WD. Five seats, enough room behind the back seats for my mole trapping tackle, almost 50mpg and goes like sand off a shovel. Took it out last week to look for some new fishing places and it took me all over the place, through mud, water, wet grass, uphill and down. Superb motor. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,066 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I know Skoda are now a different motor to what they were. But to people of a certain vintage, the mere mention of "Skoda" has them howling with laughter and dreadging up old jokes about skips ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All they are is VW when I got that they were calling it a grandads car but now I can’t get it back off her,so I’m going for the 4x4 one tomorrow and she isn’t swapping either.It’s the same colour and everything like the one I’ve got I’ve always like the look of them they just look abit like the first freelanders 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
