Sorry to go off subject, But how does the whole lease thing work, And what can you do to the van, sign writing etc? What are you liable to pay as in tax, ins etc.
thanks!! ;D

2000 Transit semi high top; looked very nice 'til I almost ripped off the near side rear wheel arch on a stone pillar the bloody council have installed where I live. In all the time I drove a 94 van I never pranged it once; this one lasted a whole week.
Luckily my local mechanic will have a bit of work to do so someone will benefit at least >:(

I've noticed those vans don't seem to rust, I've seen a few older ones that are like new. One is an X reg' & The bodywork is perfect all round.
I considered getting one but they all seem to have 2.5 motors in them!!

scudo comfort? air con etc, don't know the spec other than 2.5 closed lenght ladders fit inside the roof and 1200kg pay load.This combined with two side opening doors makes me think that this is the ultimate window cleaning van.
Of course if i could pick anything the crafter mentioned earlier is a beauty, and could handle a 1200kg/litre tank, but parking on customers drives and my own is also an issue.
I did really like the new ducato, which is no dearer, but to get the payload i wanted it had to be a longer than short wheel base, which i felt could cause probs with neighbours thinking i was running a haulage co from home.

I bought my P Partner van new two years ago. I looked around but all the secondhand vans were overpriced rubbish that looked as though they had been used for delivering car parts.
The peugot main agent came up with a better deal than vans direct and I had my choice of colour, a side door, air con etc thrown in. And all for £35 a week over 5 years.
I intend to keep it for another ten years with luck.
-
Currently a 57 reg transit connect but changing it this week for a proper transit 56 reg so i can fit a 650 ltr tank in it, cant wait ;D

Got 1 defender now no photos yet, they are an excellent idea, if you get a 110 we can get you fitted tanks which fit underneath a false floor.
There is a photo on my website of the series 3s
