People will complain about anything and everything.
Although as an extreme user myself, I’m very, very lucky to get 18 months from section 1, 2 and 3
This seems to be in line with what other poster’s experience.
6 years use is the sort of post I’d expect from you.

But he’s only got 100 customers so it’s hardly being used a normal person would do that in 2-3 days that’s why it’s lasted so long .

Buy a replacement?. I thought you had replacements for replacements?. With how much you buy that you dont actually need.

I brought a Vauxhall combo  swb  brand new
Worst van in history no power no guts  I dreaded any type of hill
the gearbox went  3k repair and oddly the ignition key wore out the barrel. And they couldn’t fix it   and so starting was hit and miss it was a car  discuised as a van and in my opinion not up to the job  gutless small and ugly

You can't go wrong with a Ford. Excellent vans. Vauxhall are well known for being just rubbish vehicles in general.

What engine is in your van Daz?

You can go wrong with any van. There is no apreciable difference between vuaxhall combo, citroen berlingo, fiat doblo and toyota proace city. The toyota does have a 10 year/ 100k mileage warranty though.

If you just do window cleaning then no point having a bigger van, i have a normal sized partner with 500l tank. All i need in there is a reel and couple of poles. Compared to a bigger van its so easy to park and much better on fuel. Could fit a gutter vac or even a pressure washer in if i really wanted.

I agree...a smallish,medium size van is all you need if you work on your own.

Personally the Ford connect L2 240 LWB is the perfect van for me with a 500L tank,diesel heater and 1 electric reel. Poles fit in straight so no cutting into the bulkhead.

Heated drivers seat and heated windscreen are a bonus but I wouldn't want to be without these things now in the winter months.

if it's lasted you 6 years that would tell me that you don't do much window cleaning ?

He doesn't.....he seems to have far too much equipment/gear for a one man band and does a multitude of other jobs other than window cleaning.

He's basically a jack of all trades. He ll be a very handy man to know though and will be a credit to his local community.
