I think the old connect is 6/8 inches longer between the back of the  sliding door and the back wheel and also higher.

I've got the swb one and my mate has the lwb one.
They feel very different.

Even on the LWB the back isn't big enough for what you want Ian if you still want to carry your pressure washer stuff in.

SIL has a T220 LWB (825kg payload) and that is the same size as the T230 (900kg payload). It has a 500 liter tank in the back and with his wheeled hose reel there isn't much space left to the back doors.

Your really should be looking at something bigger, ie Transit T300 in a MWB length IMO.

This would just have pressure washing stuff in it

Really? I've got room for my cobra pressure washer with ease, I think it's all about placement, if your a bit savvy you can make room, I'll post some pictures later on.
