    Bad Points: Hard to control in wet traction very poor. No central locking no electric windows.


    General comments: I have a Mercedes Sprinter 312d its so easy to handle very fast has 200,000km on the clock and still the engine doesn't burn oil amazing my mechanic tells me you will do another 200,000 if regularly serviced.
    I will never own another van it will have to be a sprinter for the or nothing. Feel very safe and powerful in it.

    The Mercedes Sprinter 412d is the daddy off the road, I've had mine since new 10 years ago, I've been up an down britain with it, without any problems what so ever. regulary maintaned regardless. 491,000 miles on clock at moment. When it comes to commercial vans mercs are the way forward. Rest of compettitors like transit etc: can't touch them with their cheap build quality. All round 5 star build quality. Best van money can buy simple as that.

    Since new the Mercedes Benz Sprinter has been in the workshop many times for repairs and twice for embedded rust which showed in the first year. We have had customers push start it, we have towed start it and lately we use ether to get it started. Just out of warranty the glowplug heater system went us and no3 glowplug was threadbound and the head had to come off. it was then found no1 injector could not be removed so a new head was ordered at $7500 but there was none available in australia.

    The Mercedes Benz Sprinter 312D TURBO is a superb all round van. I have had mine for nearly 10 months now. It had 158,000 on it in May 2006 when bought and now has 195,000 on it. One bit of advice though! If your van has a few miles on it (200,000+) steer clear of the "recommended" 10w40 oils - It is too thin and your engine will not like it!

    Put a decent 15w40 semi-synthetic oil (I use Comma Euro Diesel 15w40 Semi Synthetic) in it and it will give you another 200,000 without any problems at ...

    This Mercedes Benz Sprinter 312D TURBO van is now out of date, there are no air bags the radio still has a cassette player, no leg room and deck chairs for seats.
    There is limited space in the back compared to the opposition.
    plus points are that it is very quick as my licence shows and it comes with a good warranty.

    This Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 312D Turbo van is the ABSOLUTE BEST van available on the market. HANDS DOWN! It'll beat your old Transits any day, for anything. The power in it is outstanding, never before have had so much wheel spin in a van. It'll beat ANY XR2i Fiesta or Nova off the mark no matter what weather it is, i also have a Pug 205 Dimma 1.9 and it gives that a good run for its money
