Delayed gears on VW Transporter
Despite the finding that all was well on the diagnostic check I would suggest the auto could be in need of a service. The computer, after all, can't assess the quality of the shifts. Changing the oil was a good first move, even though it hasn't proven to be the fix. As for the warranty you would have to read it to check what it covers and what it doesn't.

A wheelchair conversion
IT'S really too early to speculate on the reliability of the present-model vans. I would be surprised if you needed a van as big as the Sprinter or Ducato to transport your 13-year-old daughter. I would take a look at the Vito, Transporter and Trafic before the Transit. The latter has a pretty ordinary reputation for reliability. Have a talk to the people at Capital Special Vehicles, who specialise in doing the conversions.
