Here a question for you
At work we currently run 2 Merc Sprinters one is a 99 MK1 9well thats what I call it) it's a 312D MWB Hi Roof and has covered 207,000 miles and is still going well all be it with a few electrical problems occasionally (I have to say this is one of the best vans we have owned)
The other is a 01 311CDI SWB Hi Roof which is in my opinion rubbish and has been from day 1
We need to replace 1 of them probally the SWB we have tested both the New Sprinter (rubbish IMO) and the Crafter which was much better (we were disappionted that the dealer we borrowed the demo from hadn't bothered to clean it as it was full of bullders rubish and had been smoked in!! btu the van it's self was very impressive)
Anyway we are looking at trading in the newer sprinter and our T5 Transporter Kombi 2.5TDI (which we love but as the work we brought it for has dried up it has to go.
Can any one give us ideas of what the Crafter to live with everyday and what engines are best etc.
Many thanks
