we won't be getting the new transists until next year, so the jury is out on that one until then (but we do tend to buy 60 or 70 of the fookers so if anything is going to go wrong with them, i tend to find out in a hurry because i've got to get the fookers fixed )

citroens dispacthes were great engines but shit everything else, and i mean erally shit everything else, you name it, it was shit, even the dealers

kangoo's, if you want a small van buy a berlingo, the kangoo's were absolutly shafted after 80k

merc vitos are great other than their front suspension needing sorting out if you do a lot of town driving, arb drop links, top mouts and the like get a hell of a pasting, they also seem to suffer with fuel gauge problems where the anti syphon flap gets caught up with the sender and you suddenly end up only being able to put in miniscule amounts of fuel

transit connects also seem to suffer with suspension faults, mainly de to the fact that they handle great no matter what they'g to in the back
also their hydrualic clutches go tits up, all of ours have done this where the pedal sinks to the floor gradually over the space of a few hours which ends up killing the clutches
other than that they are fine

the sprinters don't have problems as long as they get serviced regulalry
end of, and we've spanked teh arses out of them over the past fwe years and they just don't go wrong, they ride well, they handle better than you would imagine a big bus thing like th lwb versions to handle, they swallow up stuff like you would not believe

i wold say that, as far as probelms go, the only one to bear in mind is how fucking big they are if you get a lwb one
and get one with a safe t bar on the back end, it saves an awful lot of agro when parking
