My sympathies.
I doubt I'll buy another one though the gearbox issues were meant to have been resolved on the 55 plate.
My gearbox went on 39,000 (just inside 3 year warranty).
Clutch went a year ago (75,000 miles) so I suppose that was fair enough.
What year is it please?

[KLEENAWAY]

I thought these were good vans  ! What van would you get thats a similar size?

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

iv got renault trafic 03 94k now on clock
this is same van as vivaro and as been a nightmare

[andyM]

Did you say clutch has been in since June this year or last?
Surely if its this year you will still be covered, you should get 1 year or 12,000 mile warranty which ever is sooner.

[dave.e]

I have a 57 plate 2.0cdti with 61000 on the clock had no problems at all

Similar here.  03 plate with 87,000.
It's a Trafic but same as except for the badge.

Sorry last year

I was thinking of getting one of these as they are a good looking van. But so many people seem to have a problem with them.
I think I might just get a transit!

if your goning to get one then make sure its a 56 plate onwards and you should be ok this is what i found out on the net befor i bought mine. i must add that the one i have is the best van i have ever owned. (ps you watch it fxxx up on monday now i have said that)

[poole bay]

stay well away i have a traffic got it for 5k and now on my second box iv spent 4.5k on it in bills and i have still got 1 year left to pay all on my first and second year of starting up im well happy

[chopsie]

I have said it before on here, I would not touch a vauxhall van with a barge pole. At my old place they ran transits, ran for years with lots of abuse off us lot,lots reached well over 150,000 miles before they were sold (some still going today). Then for cost reasons they swapped over to vauxhalls, Now they go like poope off a shovel (well vivaros do, Movano not so good but a lot bigger), But my god they have had nothing but trouble with them, new engines, new gear boxes, turbos etc etc. They must buy them cheap compared to transits as I cannot understand why they keep buying them. But I would never have one.

its a renault not a vauxhall, the vivaro is a renault traffic with a vauxhall badge, thats why there a load of crap, i've got a 03 astravan done nearly 50k in it now and not once has it broke down and nothing has gone wrong with it

[chopsie]

Sorry I meant i would  not have one of the vauxhall/reno/nissan joint venture vans  I would have an astra van or indeed a vauxhall car
Although my first choice of van would be a VW transporter, and cars would be VW/Audi/BMW (in that order) and possibly a top spec range rover for the weekends

how old is your traffic mate

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

another problem with these vans is rear wheel bearings
are part of the rear brake disc so very dear to replace
n believe you me they will need replacing 

[Richard Neal]

I heard some where ( may have been on here) that BT have gone over to the Vivaros as they got a better deal that Ford, 2 for the price of one!
