Help need a bit of feedback on which van to buy

[Deleted member 5518]

After having a nightmare with a Vauxhall Vivaro which let me down and cost me a small fortune, I'm looking for something reliable. I've narrowed it down to Citroen Dispatch 2 litre or a Fiat Scudo. (somewhere between a 2008/2010 reg)

Has anyone had either good or bad experiences of any of these. Just don't know which way to go. Need to purchase something in the next couple of days. Feedback much appreciated.

looking at a transit today dave, if that's a pile of poo where you working next week..?

I have a long wheelbase, high top, transit connect, with two side doors.. I have to say, it's perfect for me.. I don't even have to get in the back, as you can get to everything from one door, or another. ply and plasterboard have to go on the roof, which is a bit of a pain, but not the end of the world...
