Funky dunc driver error is nothing to do with suspension
Ever hit the brakes in an empty van at speed and seen what happens ? Same thing
Its a lack of weigh over wheels that causes is thats why land rover have been using air spring to retain their towing ability but improve road handling - first thing most discovery owners do - fit coils as airs are shite
Its people driving it like it was a car thats the issue its designed to carry a tonne in the back - bit like people who say defenders are not comfy - its not designed to be a mile muncher its designed to get across terrain a car cant but quicker than a tractor ......
Tools for jobs n all that
I'm in the same boat, getting rid of my astravan and car to get just one vehicle. I'm surprised at the cost of transporters, thought they were much more than that.
@ Amplebrew - I've just had a look at the Renault site and they look as expensive as the t5, do you have a link handy?
I've also been looking at Discovery 4 Commercials but they're a bit thin on the ground and quite expensive. look massive in the back though.
Flange if new not much difference tbh but used renaults cost buttons and vws cost a bomb even with galactic miles !
Vw aint what it used to be and id buy a used renault over used newer vw any day ....
@ rick & ample - Cheers. Just need to persuade the Mrs to trade her car in for one now.

I got a quote for a Renault Trafic from Arnold Clark. They were by far the cheapest at the time. Have a look [url= http://business.arnoldclark.com/contact-us/ ]here[/url] to contact them.

That's cool, good luck!!
I had one back in the day when it was tax efficient, loved it, chipped it and still think they're cool have since had a couple of others, but the L200 was the first so have fond memories, it didn't have a brilliant turning circle but in all other aspects it was reliable and served me well.
My latest acquisition however does eclipse it.
I 've got a VW Amarok, which has probably the most fuel efficient engine of all the trucks (i've had and or rented them all). it drives well, about as car like as a truck can be, not the most expensive truck on the market and has the usual VW standard, a little bit more utilitarian than say the Toyota, but it's a v-dub so cooler.
