Renault Master Horseboxes

[Yokel]

I'm thinking of buying one, has anyone any experince of using one. My issue is mechanical reliability. Has anyone any views for or against please?

I have a master that is being converted into a horsebox, I use it most of the time now as it's more reliable than my car!

No real problems as I understand, but don't be tempted to carry 2 horses unless you have them and it weighed to establish you are not going over the plated limit.

We've not had major problems with any of ours. Just make sure you buy one with service history from someone who will be there to stand by it if something does happen. All of the ones we sell come with a 6 month warranty which covers mechanical things as well as the conversion.

The Renault/Vauxhall engines are straightforward to service and as most horseboxes don't do that many miles then a yearly serivce/MOT will be all it needs. The only thing we have come across is a sticking on of brakes & flat batteries if they are left without being used for a while but those can soon be sorted out.
