Vans - your opinions

OK - I am thinking of purchasing a new van...

I would like your ideas and/or experiences of differnt types etc.

I would be looking for one about the same size as my current one (Mercedes Vito).

Thanks

I love it to drive...but it is currently at the doctors and the outlook is not great.

I guess a new one might be better - but I have heard so much bad stuff about mercedes after care I am a bit wary.

I found Bmw service centres to be the pits but independant specialists are not only cheaper but usually better too. Have you got a local independant specialist for Mercedes?

We have recently bought a Vivaro and it is a very easy drive.

I think there is an independent one locally. Either way I will have to replace it soon as the engine is shot.

It is also true what they say about mercedes build quality.....I have had so many problems with bits falling off/out that, as much as I love the look and drive, I have lost a lot of faith in them.
