 Could I ask why you cant get a van for under 1000 ? that is possible, you can also convert standard insurance and get it into commercial.
 
 No biting my head off as I am trying to help  ;D
- 
				go to a car auction and ask them when comercial vehicles are on,   look around on net  put car auctions in task bar,   look for nearest your area.        go take a look @ prices going for,   cheaper than dealers.

				i have an estate,  just got backpack  to get used to wfp cleaning   and  get my customers used to it,    if it takes off i will start looking for a decent van and set up,   i will put a catflap fitted for hose,  i wouldnt like to leave my doors open,

 Why it would make it easier for the cat to get in.... ;D
- 
				my insurance means i have to take out a new policy ,and will lose the option of driving other cars etc ,so will be easier for me to use a car at least to build up some regular work,but i just checked and theres a commercial light auction tommorow night you think there worth going to?

 What a stupid reply. If a car is ad much as you can stretch to then a trolley with 8 barrels is a good enough place to start. I started with a vauxhall cav, a PF trolley and 8 x 25 litre barrels.

				Hi mate, good question, we have a 1000lt tank in a mini along with gutter vac and poles, it's a really good way to run a business.
 
 When I get a van il be going trad, because that's just the way I roll

				I picked up an Escort van for £700. Saw me through my first year.
 
- 
				I had to use wifes clio the one day when van was having brakes done  ;D had me backpack in there and 5 - 6 barrels, still earnt a good amount.
 
 Guys its just a means of carrying water about...and getting water to the windows, you really do get carried away with "having to have a van"
 
 I have a van cause i wanted one and it suited. Im in a position to get one so did so. Not everyone can or wants to get a van.
 
 To be honest mate any car would work but most pratical would be some sort of estate, why dont you look for old faithful mondeo estate car?
- 
				Or u get a fire engine mate, cheaper than a car
			
- 
				i use a 21yr old passat estate great load lugger backpack 8 barrels fit neatly in
 boot,work is all domestic and most  within a couple miles of home easy to pop home if need to refill

 Totally inappropriate but I love that car  ;)
 
 I'm holding out for a Vivaro though  ;)
