i'm sure trannys that have done 100k plus will be more prone but if they are fairly new every person i know that owns one swears by them.

Same goes with a new Vivaro/Trafic then. :

sorry  squeeky but thats not the case, the very very expsenive problem of the high pressure fuel pump failing can occour in vivaro-movano vans with as little as 40000 miles on the clock,sometimes even less, and it can happen without any prior warning,one day ur van is going great and the next day  say goodbye to  £2000.

its sad and its wrong,but its true im afraid.

back to transits for me

Get a Transit then...enjoy the gearbox problems, oil leaks and starter motor failing.

have you owned a transit squeaky? i have owned 3, my dad has had 7 never a gearbox faliure, never an oil leak apart from an old 97 i had and never a starter motor failure. how can you possilby comment on the reliability of a renault trafic that would of done under 15000 miles by the time you get shot of it? and you say i'm talking rubbish! i think you need to re-evaluate me old mukka

i have a vivaro and a transit. both run at 20,000 miles a year so i rekon i may be in a little better position to comment over your one that has done the same mileage as a granny going to tesco's once a week :

How do I know?
Used to work in a Ford garage mate.
Those are the common problems. I've seen it first hand.
I haven't owned a Transit, but I've driven probably about 200-300 of them.
I've got a friend with a van hire business too.

Seems to me that there's potential problems with any van.
Just that people will stick up for their own.

Maybe you'll one day learn that a brand new van probably won't give you any trouble.
Especially a Trafic/Vivaro.
