Which van should I buy?
I'm about to set up on my own as a joiner and am looking for a suitable van. Do you have any thoughts on the Renault Trafic as opposed to the Vivaro, Transit, Ducato etc? I like the Trafic, but I keep hearing stories of unreliability and would be interested to hear what you think.

The Trafic and Vivaro and equivalent Nissan are all the same. The advantage of these three is a low floor.

I trying to purchase a new van I have narrowed it down to two; VW Transporter or Renault Traffic / Vauxhall version. Which would you recommend? Both seem good vans.

Large vans all have their issues. What large, front-wheel drive van would you recommend? I already own a Ford Transit so something different please.

I’m thinking of buying a Vauxhall Movano, but can’t work out if I need front-wheel or rear-wheel drive? Also, which engine is best?
