General comments?

The vans performance is quite good. The turbo engine pulls very well and maintains great motorway performance and economy.

Load space is almost tar dis like.

The build quality is poor throughout. Seals fell away from day one and we have resorted to super glue and double sided tape to fix them in position.

Like you we have suffered some serious brake problems. Now on third set of pads and second set of discs. Fiat settled a contentious claim just out of warranty when it lost all brakes due to master cylinder defect. No recall!

Tyres wear out on front LH after only 10,000 miles. Brakes always squeal.

Also had brakes seized on and burnt out RH front disc.

As ours has a specialised body, it is very difficult to replace, and the loss of brakes means it's off the road until safe. Very worried and it's common.
