Post by: lal on February 02, 2015, 06:05:02 pm: Glad you got it sorted dazmond, are you still happy with the connect van, and still glad you bought it.
The reason I ask is because I've got one, had it 2 1/2 years now, T230 LWB 2004, had to get the odd thing fixed
here and there, but overall I'm very happy with it and think its a great little van.

Best regards

I shall miss my black smoke :'(
I save it for those rare little moments when some idiot wants to drive up my rrse.
I usually change down to second gear and watch the black smoke appear.
Oh well! :-\
