What happened to the VW exactly? And how much is that repair?

I'm even toying with the idea of EVing it (about the same cost as the required repairs).
Such project would be interesting to say the least.

The Renault was originally purchased as I felt that money was better spent on a back up vehicle that could be used on smaller jobs, than on hire fees. It was never intended to be my primary van as it's only 3m cubed, vs 5.8 for the T5 and around 7 for the Mercedes. It's a big step down but has been doing the job of a vehicle twice it's size quite well, for the most part.
Every vehicle is a set of compromises, but that Kangoo still seems to be a sensible option at all.
