Hi all @MSE

I'm after a small (Ford connect size) van for my business.

I've got to use it for mainly Cash & Carry & Costco trips for supplies.

I would just like to know if anyone has a small van they recommend or know of a good van that would suit.

Thanks!
Problem of the week!

My laptop keeps on telling me it has an ip address conflict with another computer on my network and its driving me mad trying to sort it out!!! Any suggestions PM me please!

    I highly recomend the Transit Connect, they hold loads and you dont have to crawl around in the back due to the higher than normal back.

    I had 1 for 3 years without a single problem other than serviceing and the MOT break pads and that was it I did 90k+ miles in it and it never missed a beat.

    You should be able to pick a 2nd hand one up for about 3-4k now that is 3 yars old.

    As for your IP addressing problem click start run type cmd, hit enter
    type ipconfig/all
    tell me
    DHCP enabled yes or no
    the IP address

    You can't really go wrong with Ford, just pick the size you need

    I'll move this thread to the 'Motoring & Public Transport' board.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    If you're buying diesel, make sure it's got a Turbo. You'll regret it if it doesn't.

    I like the berlingo or the partner, they always seems to go well. I did look at the connect, it was a bit larger, but it was also more money for the same year and didn't seem worth it.

    I've had 2 berlingo's, both have done me well.

    The Connect's are good.
    Tho I do like the Astra with the rear seat conversions! Very handy in both ways!
