We have a 03 sprinter at my work, rusty and fcuk but stil hits 90mph when loaded and is great on fuel only problem with mercs is that they rot faster than a road kill badger
 
i hate sprinters your doing 80 in third lane and all that is in your rear view mirror is a sprinter conversion campervan 6 inches of the arse of your car.

Sounds like summit is up.

Our works vivaro's all accelerate well even when fully laden.

more than likely, though damned if the company managers are going to spend actual money getting it looked at when they don't have to suffer with the bastard thing (goes for the other van - vauxhall combo. poxiest piece of miserable fecking uncomfortable noisy bastard cheap plasticky poorly assembled ****e ever to roll off a production line) especially when they can spend the budget on getting the aircon recharged their own cars or a box of new pencils for their office instead.

do I sound a little cynical? :rolleyes:

We also have a sprinter of around the same age, it goes really well but drinks the fuel, it's also rusty and starting to be unreliable so we just use it for a local hack
 
matey of ours has a fairly new hooge sprinter van he uses for the charity he is chair of.
he (the charity) takes it regually over to moldovia and such places, full to the brim with stuff each time thats been donated.
we have used it locally when we need to use it for removels an stuff,
they are nice large fast comfortable vans..
TEECH is our charity of choice,

even if its not the sally army someones going on about :fighting2:

would love to help in the driving over there and helping out, but.......
can only do what I can locally now..
 
just how bad was your van MM,
dint look too bad in the piccie?
was it just rear/offside?


half hour with a porta power has "put right" lotsa dints I accrued over the years,
was not perfict but kept the wheels rolling if it was earning money..
 
we have pegeout experts in my work i know there french but ive had mine for 4 years and all thatds been done on it is tyres and servicing and its done 120.000 miles and all the other vans have been the same no brake downs or faults.
