A while back I posted a thread about starting up on my own. finally decided to take the plunge after mulling it over. been looking for a 3.5 ton transit for the last few weeks but cant decide on which one i keep dithering and losing out. What ones do you recommend and why. Would appreciate the help many thanks
 
Transit pick up.

I have started buying mercedes sprinters. Cost a bit more but can take more hard work than the ford transit. Front tyres last longer and clutches dont go either. Wont be going back to transits anymore.

would anyone recommend a MERCEDES SPRINTER 311 DROPSIDE
 
Sprinters are good no cambelt as there chain driven, cabs bigger then a transit and rear wheel drive to, makes it easier for gearbox/clutch removal if needed. Just need a good mechanic (Merc trained ideally).
 
Sprinter or crafter

Jap stuff ***** small cabs

RC22 brought my old sprinter best he ever had
 
It was good till the timing chain slipped lol, had it remapped to 187 bhp!!
 
Nowt wrong with dithering a bit before parting with the dosh, :suspicious:

Had a few Iveco's that were reliable, Is there anything with a merc badge that would suit you. Never been a lover of Transits

We all know that any vehicle we buy is a one off, some go on for ever others are nothing but bother.

There is a sprinter I was thinking of for just over £2000 some have told me sprinters are good others have said not so good. want to stay away from fords if possible the newer ones are constantly breaking down
