    Awful vans. Prone to everything possible - rot, rust, door lock issues, they go through kingpins for breakfast and are just awful (did I say that already?!)

    They basically 1970 Leyland Sherpa technology... and it wasnt great then because British Leyland were involved.

    Buy a transit as others say!
