Picked up my E Custom Sport from Birmingham Ford yesterday morning. Spent the day/night in Birmingham and Coventry so didn’t drive it much yesterday. Drove it home 340 miles today and first impressions are this van is brilliant to drive, a better ride than my Custom Sport diesel, probably because of the smaller wheels and the bigger sidewalls on tyres? Will be kitting it out between now and the 4th of January, then we’ll see how it fare’s as a works van.

Mega comfy to drive isn’t it, I think the biggest difference is the rear springs, it’s made the van much more comfortable.

Keep us posted 👍🏼

Im making a tank frame for my second van, going to have reels mounted on it for pressure washing then a wfp setup as well.

In my main window cleaning van abs light has come on so ive that to investigate and going to change oil and filter on both.
Then just need to clean it all out fix a couple of small leaks ready for next week

Will drain tank/pumps down and bring RO/Di into shed tomorrow as might freeze before monday. Looking like a cold start to Jan, typical its been good weather this week so far.

Daz why is that sediment filter so orange ? Reason I’m asking is I’ve used an ro system for 17 years and never had a filter that colour
4 month intervals(sediment and chlorine filters). Same condition as last time.

It’s rust from old metal pipes

Wow  that’s a bit concerning as it’s drinking water

Rusty nutz!! it'll make your hair go ginger

I only run with Extreme poles and Extreme 35cm brushes now. I use my 47 foot Extreme on one job which is a tenement every 2 months. Clean the top, middle and bottom for £66 which takes 30 minutes. Was it worth buying the pole for one job? What it does mean is, if I get an office to clean then I already have the pole inplace and means I can get to work immediately. Reliability seems to be the name of the game that all customers want and if you don't need to wait for equipment to arrive then we are half way there.

I needed the price and time it takes, thanks!
