hi i had an astra van but i was just to small and you had to stretch to get anything near the back seats so it had to im now thinking vauxhall combo or transit connect what do you drive and whats it like for getting materials in ie ply tiles addy and your tools ofcourse
 
I had an Astra as my first van, changed to a Vivaro a couple of years ago, best thing I ever did. Fits 8x4's in and can carry 1000kg in weight, good for the big jobs.

Well i have a renault traffic ,but it has played -up a bit lately , i thought it was the air -flow meter (it has gone before ) so i bought another one and had it put on £140, and the problem is still there so its going in tomorrow , they think its an electrical fault !!,so i will see :-C...........
 
I've got a 54 plate Renault traffic and it's been a dream to own, never had any problems with it. It's difficult to get recommendations as you'll find people will have had good and bad experiences with the same model.
 
yeah i noticed that i was looking at vivaros and there was alot of good and alot of bad ones with faults etc i think i may go for a vivaro its just finding the right one
 
yes mine is a 54 plate Peter ,and that has been the only problem,i would love to renew it now but not sure what the work situation is doing ,so hanging fire
 
had a trafic van SWB.cannot fit plasterboard or ply or trims in it . after accident (written off) bought vivaro LWB.good runner,looks good,drives like car..
 
Had 53 plate citroen dispatch for a few years, now got 57 plate dispatch. Much bigger inside, can carry 8x4 sheets and can get a pallet of tiles put straight in no bother. Its the 1.6TD 90bhp version and when its fully loaded it still drives great. 2 sliding doors is good too.
 
I am driving a company van which is a T reg toyota hiace,thing has passed every mot since i have had it, the worst it ever had was an advisory on a tyre the thing is an enigma,plus no tracker so my boss cant see where i am 🙂 .
