Folks opinion on Renault master vans?
Speaking with a customer today who’s had 30+ transit vans the last 10 years, said he won’t have another, costly to fix/run, every single one has been broken into.. said they just attract trouble!
I had one until recently (66 plate), it was my first van starting out - the cheapest big euro 6 van I could find.
Not as nice a drive as a Transit, they feel a bit cheap and nasty but basically OK.
I only had one breakdown in it, turned out to be an injector issue but was a real pig to diagnose, mainly because I got fed up of waiting for the mechanic and ended up fixing it myself.
Main issue was bits of trim falling off every 5 minutes, but it was high mileage ex-courier so mainly held together with CT1 and self tappers.
Ironically the mechanics I spoke to said hold on to the Renault and forget the Isuzu I replaced it with... the Master is a pretty sound van apparently and the Isuzu can throw big bills.
Towing wise not great, 6t train but I was often running around over that and power wise not much different from my Grafter which people seem to rate?? It handled a lot of abuse really, main problem was how low the towbar was especially once the van was loaded.
