Any suggestions for a decent 2nd hand small van?

Volvo 850 T5 Auto Estate.. I know where you can find one for 3k

Might not be as economical as you were initially thinking though...

Ford connect, small enough yet big if that makes sense, and a great engine line up, i had a belingo a while ago which has made way for a connect, also has air con which is a must in any van.

they also look good, and we have had no problems with it so far.

I run 3 Transit Connects, they are the biggest pile of crap on earth, Fords must have given a lot of incentives to the press to get the Van of the year award. THe 200 has the oldest low tech Diesal engine as fitted to the first front drive escorts best mgp we get is 34 , fords think this is ok ! We have a high milage Fiat Doblo with the 100bhp JTD which on the same usage averages 51 mpg. The Ford has a gear box that sounds like a bag of rusty spanners, Fords only comment is we fit thin oil to improve economy! On top of all that brakes are poor and no ABS. Seats are uncomfortable and lack adjustment. Very expensive to buy and very poor dealers esp Perry's in Aylsbury
