Maybe transits  are worse but Traffics are known for there gearbox problems period.

As for toyota being unreliable  :o wow. What a statement!!! Mine is a 55 plate and still as new and very reliable. Can you say this will be the same with traffics?? Never ;)

Eh?! Read it again Bob!
I said reliablilty wise you probably couldn't get better. I just know they're not as nice to be in as the others.

And the gearbox problems are only on pre-55 plate ones.
After that it's a Nissan box, and don't tell me that'll break... ;D

Little tip, quite often if you take the battery terminals off for 30 mins, this will reset the computer, not all vehicles but some will, just meke sure you have radio code first

It is really hard to choose a car, I have the same issue.

In new cars:

Toyota Hiace
- Is a car that will run for a long time with little problems.
- Not to nice, but ok
- Expensive where I live because of high co2
- Payload appx 900-1000kg
- Not much to repair

VW Transporter
- Looks good
- Cost a bit
- People say that there is some problems with it, more than Hiace.
- Payload appx 900-1000kg
- Some repair work is needed usually

Citroen Berllingo L2
- Cheap
- OK to drive
- Payload appx 800kg
- L2 version have 2.05m length in the back (enough for poles?)
- Workshop?

Citroen Dispatch
- Ok price
- Ugly :)
- Payload appx 1000-1200kg
- Workshop?
