there is some cracking deals on the vivaros  13k will get you one with 20,000 on the clock

i wouldnt have a vivaro if you were giving one away for free.

Why?

[dazmond]

too big for me the vivaros for a one man band IMO and they usually have lots of problems even when relatively new.mechanics i know always tell me to stay clear of them.so i have.

What are the problems you've been told about ?

[Dave Willis]

I had one as a hire van for a couple of weeks, I liked it. Drove better than my Hiace.

ive got a 2010 vivaro lwb im a sole trader its a realy good size, the gear box is a let down mine went at 42k ish but it was under warnty at the time so did not have to pay, apart from that its been very relible now just hiting 60k ish , one thing you have to do with them is seal the scutle pannel as they are prone to leaking £30 and its done,that is the sole cause for problims on these vans

[the king]

ill run my van to 90k and chop it in then get a new one

Custom is great size for one man band.
Lots of water, high flow = splash and lots of dash = money earned then home early

Just an update on the van promblem. Garage phoned van been done apparently wasn't the turbo it was the egr valve  so didnt cost half as much.  So now I've got 2 vans on the drive lol.  Also I'm in the aa breakdown repair cover which covers upto 500 pound of repairs. Not sure if the  egr valve is covered yet though. I would recommend this cover used a couple of times once for a new starter motor and once ford a new battery. I pay 340 a year but if a new customer half price. Well worth it.

Best thing I ever did with my 1.6hdi was have the egr blanked off. You'll have no further trouble with it if you blank it but it's only a matter of time if you don't.

So true mate could have saved me a lot of hassle.

[the king]

good news pikeman on the van m8 i was thinking about blanking my egr but not shore if the vivaro 2.0 suffer with them blocking or not ? i may speak my my garage when its no for service next

[pikeman]

Thanks king definately worth considering. Still might have a new van now I've looked at them really like vivaro
