Anyone drive the new VW Caddy?

Cirrus

I did until I got my Tranny. Very nice indeed - would have another tomorrow instead of my ugly 'builders hairy assed' tranny.

im currently using my boot in my mk2 mondeo! im off van shopping in a bit and have been thinking about vivaro or renault/nissan variant.

however im undecided ive heard a lot of bad things bout these vans, what with fuel pumps, injectors, gearbox, clutch probs to name a few!!

yeh transits do have that stigma but to be honest im thinking about getting a swb base one, any ideas anyone?

dont want anything too small like burlingo's etc, caddies are ace vans but also just a little too small! i hate having to stack stuff on top of other stuff when loading un loading!!

just to add ive been comparing volume (load space) of a few vans: transit connect 2.8m, vw caddy 3.2m, merc vito 4.65m, transit swb 6.5m, vivaro 5.0m

yeah sad i know this is my list of vans i could get but dont know which too get!!, thinking of avoiding vivaro, so think its between caddy, vito and transit.

quite tricky tho cos its hard to work out how much room you really need! if you wanna transport endless ammounts of gear around for maintainance purpoeses as well as tonnes of cable i suppose it would be the vito or transit?

any of you peeps no if you can get a pair of steps in a caddy ok?

Vans get robbed all the time in London

Renault Kangoo 1.5dci, ex british gas, fully racked out, towbar and roof rack fitted. 40-50 mpg.
no probs whatsoever.
would recommend, if you can handle a bit of a tight space. and don't mind strapping a few bits to the roof.
can't justify a bigger thirstier van at the moment and work on own so need all materials at hand.#
get most large items delivered as most wholsalers will at short notice.
so all good.

off too buy a tranny connect lwb 2moro, yipee!!

Hi
Bloody good vans,Got offered one a few weeks ago for 200 quid all it neaded was a fan as the old one had a blade missing ,it shuddered a bit when idleing but went ok ,bit noisy though but old deisels are,it was ex telecom and there serviced regular ,but some builder had had it and as far as i know he got the brakes done,i was going to have it for the engine and swap it with an old petrol out of a pickup,but the pickup was newer and had different mountings.shame i think it was worth the money,its hard to get them at the right price ,most get shipped to india or africa,i think ive got an exahst someware that should fit a connect,but yorks maybee a bit far to drop it round ,they tend to rust bad and its handy to have a spare
good luck with it
