LDV's up for sale, and the V70 will probably go too tbh. Being replaced by a more daily friendly (than the van anyway) Renault Trafiic or the equvelent other two. I'll still have the 850 though :)

Nowt wrong with a bit of French now & then My sister's husband got a 2004 Trafic, seems pretty good althogh the crank pully bolt worked itself loose & he lost the pulley. No serious harm done as he spotted it in time

My dad has had a Renault traffic lwb 100 since 2004 he loves it, watch for gearbox issues if 6 speed, other than general services it's been faultless 160k I think and it still going strong

I looked at one last Saturday that was a 2004, new gearbox (5sp) and clutch, cam belt just done, LWB with no bangs for £2200. Git isn't answering my calls now though :(

Faults on traffics .gearbox goes around 120-140k .have a look at the top of engine around injectors as the rust in which means new head or engine.cause scuttle panel let's water passed so engine fills with water on top. I've had 3 on the trot now have a crap transporter.

Yeah as above, mainly gearbox problems on the 6spd. A mate of mine's got a Vauxhall Vivaro which he's had from new, same box as far as I know, and his box spat it's dummy out conveniently about a week out of warranty. Vauxhall were very helpful and offered a big fat zero towards a new box! I seem to recall problems with plastic thermostat housings cracking on earlier traffics, but could be wrong.
