What's the best used van without a wet belt?

I've got a budget of about £10k and ideally I want a van without a wet belt (just because I've heard horrible things about them). Do they exist and do I have to go for an old van to find one? I currently have a Citroen Berlingo and have been quite happy with it (electronically terrible but engine seems sound but is now costing me too much as it's 15 years old). So another Citroen possibly?

If you want a van of a similar size to the Citroen Berlingo but without a wet belt engine, then a good choice for you would be a late model Volkswagen Caddy TDI, which uses the VW PD engine with an external cam belt.
