Spoke to the lad who's got the Fiat last night, he's had a few problems with is they are as follows.

1. Fuel pump which was replaced under warranty.

2. Back bushes which wasn't changed under warranty.

3. All new door seals which wasn't changed under warranty.

4. Another fuel pump which wasn't changed under warranty.

5. New steering rack, the garage are trying to work out who's going to pay for the new rack.

He said it's a sack of crap and the worse £20,000 he's ever spent.

They all a bag of trash. They are poor vans to start with, but when you start asking them to run around cities with passengers in them, it all goes t*ts up. There is not much out there for the discerning WAV buyer. TOO much, for TOO little. :cry: :cry:

Why not go back to a saloon? I am curious! Is it the safety aspect with the driver’s partition? I can understand that if you do late night work.

Yes I thought it might be that reason, fair comment. You need to feel secure doing night work. More fuel consumption but worth it for the extra security.
