Cant find anything that takes my fancy. Nightmare.
Tempted to go straight to Ford and get brand new transit on finance, cheers then ;D

A local windy to me bought a new van and all he had were complaints from custies accusing him of doing too well off them.

Looks good, and its the bigger payload :)
not sure about sexual though ??? ::)roll

I bought a brand new van early last year and 90 % of the customers didn't notice and those that did commented favourably. They are either happy with you and your service or they aren't. What's it got to do with them what vehicle you drive as long as you don't lean oil on their drive?
-
Leak, not lean.

My next buy is one of these set up as hot water for one man.

im focused on transit connect t230 / peugeut expert 2.0 hdi, / citroen 2.0 hdi, low mileage. i owner, full service h. i think a transit or a vivaro may be a bit too big for me yet , to begin with a van setup, id probably still use my backpack more than my van setup, because of ease of use,
but a tank full of pure water will mean i will not run out and can concentrate on bigger buildings, more pleasing to the customer, especially comercial.

Personally, If I was still in the trade and you came to me, I would recommend you consider something bigger than this. You need something that will support a 2 man system, so you need to be looking at a Transit T280 or equivalent.
-
2 big, what is the smaller transit model, may consider.

Yeah a Transit size van does sound apealling, although maybe not completely nessercary as I can get away with running a 2 man system off 350 litre tank due to having the luxury of working in a mile radius of my house 95% of the time.
Im not ruling one out tho Spruce ;)

Split the difference and go for the higher payload versions of the dispatch/scudo/expert. 1200kg payload, the standard wheelbase version has usefully more space than a berlingo/partner, but is still usefully smaller than a standard transit sized van.
That is probably what i will go for next :)

Said it before bud but don't worry about distance. You'll limit yourself.
Get the train to wherever the van is and drive it home.
Make a day of it.
I went about 2 hours north of me for the van and about 4 hours south of me to get the car.
Make a day of it. Get a coffee, read the paper on the train, just relax and enjoy.
Even better, go on a rainy day when you couldn't work anyway.
If you don't want to spend the money trains cost, try national express. The coach is cheap as chips.
I actually quite like the train/coach. Probably get one once or twice a year

any thoughts on this ford transit t2600.
eBay item number:
331121636415 ebay,
its great to get a deal near you. how much do you think it will go for.
-
where are you based james
-
Yeah I know what your saying Poleking, trouble is I will be doing it on an a finance deal so wouldnt drive home that day I doubt, plus its missions to take it back if I need to do anything under the warrenty... know what I mean.

The finance wouldn't be a problem. It'd all be done over the phone and just sign on the dotted line when you get there. You could be in and out in an hour. (I clean car showrooms and chat to the girls in there, who've said as much)
As for warranty. A lot of places use a nationwide warranty company. It may be the case that a garage near you is in the scheme and you could be covered...
Not trying to push you bud just hope you get the best deal you can, not just the nearest...

James why don't you go for a dispatch and put 500 tank in it then you can have a two man system in it like you wanted in the last one til you found out the low payload
-
do many on here use the 16, or 2.0 models despach.

Open to offers mate :D
But ive worked out that a 400 litre tank would be enough for us as a two man setup, as our work is so close to home, it isnt an issue should we need to refill... it takes seconds (almost)

Thanks for taking the time to link me up.
Do you not think the milage is high? When Ive been looking for vans, if they are 45000 or above I dont bother ???

2.0 is the best engine, the 1.6 is supposedly more troublesome as well as being (slightly) less economical.
