Default Any suggestions for a decent 2nd hand small van?

Sorry, I know it is fairly well of fthe topic of sports cars but does anyone have any reccomendations for a decent small van?

Renault Kangoo springs to mind but I am not sure why though...

I suspect the answer is that it doesn't matter as they are all sh*te!

Needs to be cheap, diesel and small (escort van size).

Thanks for any advice.

Can't go wrong with an Astra Diesel van.

What is your budget though? May help define the 'cheap' part of the request.

Do you mean a small (ie not high-sided) transit van or a car-based van (i'm no expert, but it may also help with recommendations!?!?!
