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.

    Looking for a van and just wondering why Mercedes vans are so cheap for example comparing to VW transporters? Why are they not being valued?

    there is a 12 year warranty against body corrosion on all new merc vans, if you buy a new vito you will never change into anything else again, the transporter doesnt even come close to the comfort of driving it day in day out. I drive a new 113 long wheel base and hate getting into anything else, even the car.

    I'm choosing between Transporter T5 and MB Vito (2005-2008). But so far I have an impression, that Transporter is more reliable van. Driving T4 at the moment and allways been happy with it.
