Default Best van for 1K or less?

Hi guys,

I'm considering buying a van for the business - all the tools and cable fits in the mondy with the seats down but I'm getting fed up with having to hoover out the plaster dust and I don't think it's doing the suspension much good! Initially investigation suggests that the following are available at around the grand mark:

Transit SWB ~S reg
Merc Vito ~S reg
Fiat Scudo/Peugeot Expert ~X reg
Renault Kangoo ~X reg
and the odd old high-mileage Transit Connect

Anybody have any experience? I had an Expert for work a while back and they're pretty practical and didn't seem to develop any real problems, though I have heard of turbos going.

A Kangoo or Connect would probably do size wise for me, and would have the bonus of still fitting in car parks with ladders on the roof...

Any thoughts?!

Regards,
Chris
