Any van is about 5ft when the d*ck heads take on the danger bridge near us,usually when on hire

I've been looking at the berlingo's.

NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE DON'T DO IT, we have a fleet of these at work and they are absolutely diabolical we also have a couple of renaults which are just as bad.

The renault Kangoo's?

The renault Kangoo's?

Yes that's them. they also have a traffic i think it's called, forever of the road with electical faults,

renaults are a pile of ****e...do not bother with them....electrical problems abound...save your brass...berlingo s had one for 5 years from new....never had a single problem..did 140 00 miles from new..same exhaust when i sold it..only replaced the glow plugs in all that time ...superb cheap motoring..i always buy new vehicles...as i do highmileage uk wide...so need the reliabilty...plus maximum tax deduction benefits too...buying used vehicles reduces your allowances..

That was mine above, sorry the post freaked out on me (think it was the pics). She let a water hose go last night on the way home but thankfully I noticed it, so no head damage.
I only paid £700 for it and obviously have no debt on it at all.
Does me a treat at the minute too. I'd love a bigger more modern van in the future but right now I have better things to spend money on.

Thanks mate.
Took some hard bargaining I tell you, complete off the cuff find too.

using a vauhall zafira,sheets on roofrack or delivered(customer picks up bill)can put rear seats forward to create space for a s**T load of tiles in.Iagree with GAZ bringing up a family and i can fit the kids quad bike in the back as well as 5 passengers.works a treat for us.

back on the van front, I have just bought a citroen berlingo multispace-so i get a car and a van. bought a 2004 model with 8500 miles on it for £6495, 1.9d -basic trim but who cares about that- it beats me trying to squeeze all my kit into my c2!! B e r l i n g o. PS That reminds me, my brother and I have been playing the berlingo game-so called because you have to spot as many berlingos as you can on the way to work!! And believe me, you can say berlingo many times in a 15 mile trip!! Thought we would open it up as a general tiling sport-berlingo spotting!!

I like the idea of a car and van in one might consider that as i am looking for a van of sorts but still undecided on what to go for.

I have a nissan urvan k reg which i paid £1000 for about four and half years ago it has served me well, except now one of the hoses blew a hole and I could'nt get a replacement even from nissan, I would go for something newer just so I can get spares for it. oh by the way my van was two litre petrol, ouch.
