Hi Dazmond, what make & type of ladders do you use if you don't mind me asking, I need to buy some and just
curious as to what you use, could see them in your photo.
Best regards

hi lal.i have 3.5 metre trade ladders and an 8ft single pointer.they both come in handy from time to time.mainly for unlocking gates or getting over them!and the odd flat roof. ;).i sometimes need them for conny roof cleaning too.
-
the trade ladders are....well....just standard trade ladders!i bought them years ago when 100% trad.the 8 ft single pointer is made by ramsey.

That's a vikan brush I think? I've go a tecbuk brush though and it's awesome.
Dazmond
How do you find having the water tank in that as opposed to up against the bulkhead? Looks interesting. I'm getting my tank properly fitted soon and think I might go for that. It would give me a lot more space at the side door.

jonny tank is fine long ways.no sloshing about of water with half a tank full!plenty of room down the sides. :).handy for grabbing a few fresh cloths near the side door or swapping brushes. ;)
oldman the red brush is a vikan brush on a short optiloc pole for washing my van and car!
richy its a 500L upright tank.plenty for a days work! ;)

Hi,jimi
I notice you have the new connect lwb it looks very nice.
I am thinking of getting one and just wondered your thoughts on it?
Did you look at any other small lwb van like the combo or caddy maxi?
Did you buy from Ford direct?
Thanks in advance.

Good set up simple and clutter free. Unlike my van which is a total mess just now. If I can work out how to upload a pic from the phone I will just for amusement.

I can't speak for Jimi but I have one to.
L2 trend 240 is its title, long wheelbase, mid spec and biggest psi.
Nice van drives well, 3 year warranty, 500 ltr tank a really good size for single operators.
Downside is it needs chipping, mine is so slow from standing or no power when going around islands in 2nd and want to accelerate, it just lags for seconds and then woof were off.
I think to meet the eec emissions they have been dumbed down.
If you buy one see if you can get a long test drive, I ran mine around the block and should have scanked it for half a day really.
Hope that helps

The thing about second gear, I have the same van, and I thought it was all in my head...maybe chipping is the answer, apart from the slow getaway, it's the best van I've had...
