they spelt available wrong on my last van and i drove round with it for 6 months until someone said, do you know youve got a spelling mistake on your van, and i was like "yeh yeh ladderless" hes like "no theyve spelt available wrong"
theyd spelt it "availble" lol, i never noticed, no one did actually bar that one person
-
Very smart. I reckon you did well for £350 + VAT. It puts mine to shame. I have a black van (Trafic) and plain white lettering. It has all the relevant details on it but is not so pleasing to the eye. I'm not changing it now though. I have the van for another two years (until the loan is paid) so I won't be reviewing signage until I get another (assuming anyone is left to borrow the money from by then).

well in the old van people always used to come over and ask id of said at least 1 -2 a day, and i reguraly get phone calls and few enquires off my website
been using this van for about a month and it has been quieter alot quieter actually, and i seriously think its because my van wasnt sign written, there was a post the other day about is it really worth being sign written, and i can say hand on heart from my experience... yes it is

At least it drew his eyes to your van eh. Did you get his custom after that?

Well done

hi yeh, its a company in Oswestry, a guy i know works there, so i doubt if anyone else could get such a good price but they are really good at what they do!
-
yestrday, sun was shining on it and i can say that the pics dont really do it justice...its proper annoying though...i cant stop looking at it!!!

im so sad...but proud really 8)
-
thats what i will be like ;D
can you please tell me where you got the metal stff around the tank... and how its fixed... sorry if its answered above i have not time at the mo to read through them.
my new van is such a mess at the mo, as i have simply " put" everything in the new one and its doing my head in...but i had to , just so i could go to work.
cheers.

-
got 650 in there
-
cool ,whats it like on the moterway full up.how many miles to gallon do u get cheers :)
-
you dont really know its there mate, 70 all day long goes like a dream, £100 gets me at least 600 miles, usually 650 - 700 driving carefully
-
More like 400-450,you must have a different engine to thousands of others.
-

I am With LWC on all of this
1.) Van looks very pro well done fella

3.)I put in £50 and so far have done 250 miles and have been carrying full 650 ltr tank and additional 100 ltrs
Get it up to 60 mph get it into 6th gear and then cruise at 60 - 70 mph
Well done LWC Keep up the good work

I was going to say that.
I find it's just under half the figure I put in(x10), if you know what I mean.
That's how I work it out.
eg: £10 just under 50 miles.
£20 just under 100 miles.
£50 just under 250 miles.
So for £100 I'd expect just under 500 miles, probably 430ish.
I reckon if you were mainly motorway at 70mph in 6th you'd get miles more though.
Mine's the 2.0, 115bhp model by the way.

is that seriously all you get? i can honestly get at least 600 miles easily outta £100. and i dont exaclty drive it slow.
even my mate said he gets 600-700 miles out of his vivaro bt van
you lot must have seriously heavy right feet lol

I do set the trip meter in mine when I fill up. I could probably get to 500 miles on each tankful with a tiny bit to spare but normally I will top up before 450. At £1.25 a litre (for instance), 90 litres would cost £112.50. 500 miles is the absolute top I've risked from a tankful and then on a longer run when I've been away up north and the water tank has been empty. Normally, like most W/Cs, I do shorter hops with a fair bit of stop/start and with a fair load on. My fuel usage is probably increased by having a ladder and roof bars on top though. I've seen estimates that this can impact by as much as 20%.
So if I was doing longer runs, if I carried as little water as I could get away with, and if I carried no ladders or roof bars, it's just possible that I might get 600 miles from a tankful (at £112.50). I do not drive hard either. My Trafic is the 1.9tdi with 110dci. 600 miles per £100 does seem to be pushing it to me. Maybe this was calculated before fuel prices started escalating?
Just to add that, apart from when I'm building up for a gear change, I try to keep the revs at 2000 or slightly above (a little more when loaded).
