Are you a part-time window cleaner? Or just starting up? I've used this 'set-up' for the last two years after deciding against buying a new/replacement van. It has been cheap and practical for use two days a week before full retirement. See my advert for car and equipment (ready-to-go) in USED EQUIPMENT FOR SALE. Tel. Mike on 07968 845 936

[Thats harsh. Its not the sort of thing i would use either but it is a great price for someone who wants to have a go at wfp without spending a lot of money, somebody might just want to do it one or two days here and there and cant justify shelling out for a van until they are sure window cleaning is for them./quote]

Nice setup for a part timer.

If you want to totally destroy the car then you crack on ;D

Not called for Scrimble. ::)roll
People have to start somewhere. Perhaps they have forgotten how they started out and feel superior.
I had a 175L in a Honda estate when transitioning from trad. to wfp.

As he's only asking £950 including a years MOT for everything who cares what the car is like after a year?

Malc, you can always be relied upon for great responses :) .
Your original point was a good one too. Although I first went into WFP about ten years ago with a reasonably decent van and a tank, my earlier beginnings on a ladder weren't quite so easy. A clapped out car, a ladder borrowed from an out of trade plumber and totally clueless on pricing and methods. If I were looking to scale down and semi-retire with a tight budget, something like that car would be an option for me.

I had a Nissan Primer estate, and by carrying 8 25 lt barrels I Completely detroyed it in 8 months ;D

Have had a 99 Nissan Primera saloon for the last nine and a half years. Up until two years ago it was the family car and work vehicle. Now it's my workhorse only. Kept it fully serviced minus one year when I forgot to get it done. Since 2007 been carrying 6-8 barrels plus freedom trolley and ladders for those odd windows I can't get to with a pole. It's still going strong having passed every MOT except one. Failed on brake pads! Have considered getting a small van but don't want to get rid of such a reliable old car. Still looks nice to boot.

To be honest I don't think it matters what you use for transport as long as it does the job and you can earn a few bob who cares.
