VW Transporter
Anyone have any experience of these ?
I'll be doing more miles to and from work so the shogun has to go in favour of something a bit more economical.
I do still need a 4x4 but not the towing capacity of the shogun and something like a transporter seems to fit the bill.
So if anyone has any recommendations or things to look out for or just general advice it would be appreciated.
Cheers

T4? T5?
It would be a T5.
T4 better than T5 ime
They are not as good as you think...
There ok. A friend of mine bought one brand new (T5 Sportline) but it eats CV joints :S optopnal extras are custy tho, leather, air con, bluetooth etc etc but they hold there price. Goes very well for a big van, but aint cheap to fix when they break.
So any alternatives to the transporter ?????
Well, a big diesel 4x4 is never going to run much above high 20's to the gallon...
Why do you need 4x4? Is it for towing or just for the weather?
They're good vans imho. Sure they have faults, but so do any other van. Hold money well. Parts are not as expensive as you'd think.
My 3.2 Shogun does about 26 to the gallon - seriously reduced since I fitted Cooper LTZ's.Originally Posted by mowgli
I needed that for towing a heavy trailer but I am changing job and will be doing more miles and no heavy towing.
The 4x4 is really just for traction in snow as where I live is up a hill and walking the last 2 miles home is not an entertaining proposition.
I was thinking about the 4x4 van route as vans are so handy to have and we have another 4x4 car for family duties.
I did have an 07 sprinter a while back and would have another but the 4x4 option is cost prohibitive and used examples are thin on the ground.
