Any Iveco drivers out there? Some advice please

Hi, I'm currently looking to upgrade my van, I can't afford a new one so I'm looking to buy one at no more than 50,000 miles.

I need a 4 metre so was considering a VW Crafter or Mercedes Sprinter but so far I have not had good feedback from either, so my only other option is an Iveco Daily. I don't know very much about them though but they are slightly cheaper and I am able to get overnight servicing which would be a great benefit.

If anyone can give me a bit of advice it would be greatly appreciated.

ivecos are a world of pain and are riddled with faults

either the crafter or sprinter would be good bet

Do the Sprinters still eat drive shafts liek they're goin out of fashion?

difficult to recommend big vans as they all have issues

iveco's go through injectors every couple of years at £200 each also ecu have been known to pack up

most of these things have been thrashed by couriers so be careful and fussy.

My mechanic told me the ecu packs up on the crafters so thats why I discounted them (I currently drive an lt). I'm more confused than ever now, but thanks for the reply.
