Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Primastar vs Transit Custom

Magic ]=) · 2021-10-20 11:25:34

Hi, In the market for used van. Looking for 2013-15 Primastar or 2013-14 Custom. Would anyone have had experience as driver with both of them. It will be my first van so any tips what to look for would be great. Would either be better then other when it comes to reliability.

I would say the Primastar would be more reliable, the Customs are a bit hit or miss. The 1.6 engine in the primastar is the one to get.

All the same thing, the Fiat, Renault, Nissan, Opel, Vauxhall versions. all built in Luton.
I think the Primastar changed its name to the NV300 by the time that engine came out (late 2014 I think)

VW Transporter is the best Van out there in that size of van by a country mile. The 2.0 litre in it is the one to go for.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.
