another guy today(landscape gardener).has a vivaro and before that a renault trafic.both vans have had gearboxes go and injectors TWICE ON BOTH VANS!!
also a mechanic friend of mine says stay well clear of them as weak gearboxes,injectors go all the time.he said its bad design.
BUT this gardener said he,d have another one as they look professional and comfy to drive.
my kangoo is 14 YEARS OLD with 141,000 ON THE CLOCK and still going and ive hardly spent much money on it really in 4 years but i need a bigger van.
i average about 3000 miles a year so not much mileage.another friend of mine says he d put a recon gearbox in for £500 if gearbox goes if i get a vivaro.
ive never had a gearbox go on any van or car ive ever had and all my vehicles have been at least 10 years old!!
im looking at vivaros about 7 or 8 years old.ill have around 4 or 5 grand but im not sure if i want to shell out that much if im gonna have constant problems with reliability.
thoughts?alternatives?
cheers guys
