LDV V80

The company I work for has started buying ldv vehicles and all of them are junk I was brought a LDV v80 bigger to replace my aging urvan and although grateful for a work vehicle just amazed at the poor quality of ldv. I won't list off all the issues most are highlighted in the above reviews in fact when the first service came around I received an email asking me to "write a list of all the problems so they can be fixed" which caught me by surprise as I had never talked to the ldv dealer or anyone else about the van? Surely any good review i...Read more

We purchased this LDV V80 from a Toyota dealership in Tasmania. We went there to buy a Toyota commuter for passenger shuttles. They had no availability of the Toyota badged product so the shiny slick salesman quickly recommended the V80. Well, don’t be fooled!
At first service there was an update to the automated manual transmission electronic control. The transmission was less than ordinary but after this ‘update’ it became really painful. Hill starts were particularly woeful as the clutch would take soooo long to engage. And they wouldn’t put...Read more

I unfortunately thought buying 3 of these vehicles would be a cheaper entry into the market rather than purchasing the sprinter! What a mistake that was.

All three of my vehicles , 2 x v80 small wheel base plus the long wheel base high top were converted into refrigerated vehicles. I can not tell you how much I have spent on these vehicles with brackets from LDV cracking etc... not to mention the cruise control goes bananas after gaining speed! Trying 50 times to get into to reverse AS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE then getting it into A1 is sometimes e...Read more

LDV 80 purchased Feb 2016 so almost out of warranty. Gear selection very difficult. At times it shows A1 when it is actually in reverse. On 4 occasions almost crashed into vehicles behind me. Often cannot select reverse without altering from Auto to Manual. Also there is a light on the dash at far left supposed to alert that a clutch in the transmission is overheating. A buzzer sounds as well and it stops you putting the vehicle into gear. Have to wait about 5 minutes. PROBLEM is that it comes on after the vehicle has been sitting idle for 2...Read more

14 months in and 36,000 miles, and no major issues. Eakin Bros Claudy in Northern Ireland have dealt with all services and supplied a courtesy vehicle. Yes it does run harsh when cold and in low gears but get to 3rd gear and it performs very well and much quieter. Effortless motorway cruiser and well capable of getting you into trouble. Handles well and corners solidly, considering its high ride position. One ton in the back hardly registers with the suspension and it still pulls strong with out squeezing to hard. The cab is spacious and the dr...Read more

This vehicle drives really well in higher gears ( lots of Power ) . Bit noisy in lower gears. Cruise control works but is very basic, either on or off but adequate. Engine warning light comes on every now and then. Long loads ( up to 3.6m Timber etc ) can be extended under front seats. Front passenger seat can be removed to carry a longer load that won't fit under front seats. ( just remove the bolts in floor.) Can carry three passengers in front which is a bonus. Gear box can be manual or auto. though the gear box will over ride you...Read more

Bought my brand new V80 on the 21st of Dec 2017 only 5 weeks old and has already BROKEN DOWN, currently at the dealership waiting to find out if the part is in the country and have been told I will not be given a loan car regardless of how long it could take to be fixed or given how short of time I have had it!!!!
This transit was bought for my business and the reason I bought a new one that I wouldn't have these problems, well I was very very wrong!
I wasn't so mad about the fact it has broken down, these things happen but what I am so mad ...Read more

*gear selection has been on-going problem particularly engaging reverse
*sometimes it displays a forward gear (ie A1) and then goes backwards (scarey)
*mostly just does not respond to gear selector at all ...
*will regularly not proceed form 1st gear @ about 1500 revs you must stop turn off and wait 10 secs before continue
*rear door stays were nearly useless from day 1 and broke after few weeks
*front doors have no stay at all so be very careful when opening next to another vehicle
*radio am is almost useless ...big on static in most of ...Read more

I just bought this LDV V80 in June and in December I am having all this problems.
