    Older type Astravan 1.7dti. The engine is bullet proof also the older types are cheap to buy. Plenty of room in the back for tools.

    The guy is spending €2k, is resale value really that important over a good van within budget? Caddy's even SDi ones are still fetching silly money.

    I borrowed an Opel Combo 1.3 Cdti for a few months a couple of years back and even though it had a coolant leak somewhere and well abused it still did the job. Plenty of these within budget.

    Personally I despise berlingos. I've had one for almost 2 years and I can't wait to be rid of it
