Does it effect the heater if you use a univalve or tap .

Window Cleaning Forum / Re: 35cm Gardiner’s Supreme Brush

Gardiner’s have just started producing these. I think with the splay they’ll be a great addition. Especially on large windows & deeper recessed windows.

I use the 35cm Xtreme sill brush with 4 x 1.4mm jets for most work these days with pump controller on full blast. Its a great brush for splashing and dashing at this time of year. I can literally chop an hour a day off my work in the winter months!🙂👍

It doesn't look like I'm going to be breaking any records this year  :'( very slow atm.

£122, a bottle of wine and 5 cards up to now. Better than nothing but I usually get around £400-£500 altogether but I reckon I'll be doing well to reach £300 this year.

Everybody is being squeezed from every direction financially. Ive paid my tax bill early this year just to get it out of the way. Im over £5k lighter now...

Anyone on here interested in a 2019 Custom Sport Auto, 24 000 miles, FSH, 500 litre tank and frame with immersion?😁

Why not keep it especially with that mileage .
I just fancy a change, I’ve had it for over 6 years now. Also I’ve just had notification from my accountant of my 24/25 year end profit. This will probably increase for 25/26 and with the higher tax threshold being a lot lower in Scotland I am going to get hammered, so the idea of buying a van to reduce my tax liabilities is probably more appealing than it would be for anyone south of the border.
If you are worried about going into a higher tax threshold, you could just pay money into a pension to get the equivalent amount of tax relief on your contribution.

For me personally I would not want to change a van with such low mileage - assuming I was happy with the van.

Well I’m seriously considering getting an electric reel , will wait until January  to get one .

I don't actually think any money gets took off them in January.

When I bought my set up years ago, I held off until January as I automatically thought they would have a January sale, as i thought I'd save a few quid. None of it came down though.

Just because they didn't come down that year doesn't mean they won't another yesr though. Sales throughout the year might dictate if things like that gets discounted or no.

If they have sold alot of them and orders are still coming in then it makes absolutely no sense adding a discount to it.

They last years though, so sale might not be where they expected them to be as alot will have them etc. So reducing the cost will get them sold to the people on the fence, who would like one, but don't think they can justify paying the price they retail at. When they see a couple of hundred off it. Itl attract sales from they kind of people who think there not over paying for it now as it's discounted in the sales.

I looked at the rescue card ages ago:

https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/service_tip_files/Ford_Transit_Custom_Van_2025_5d_Electric_EN.pdf

Shows you all the dimensions of the battery and motor etc.

I’ve decided when I get one, I’ll be using the lashing points and a flag tank.

The battery goes as far as back as the side load door. So not good for tanks being bolted down. You’d have to faff about dropping the battery.
That’s good info Zesty cheers. From that it looks like flat tank ratchet strapped is gonna be the only way to go. Do you reckon the lashing points will need to be reinforced for a flat tank?

My plan is to use the lashing points and glue down (yes I know it sounds mad) the tank with tonnes of adhesive foam or Stixall etc. these modern adhesives are unbelievably strong, like seriously strong. I’d prime the floor for better adhesion. With a flat tank, lashed down and glued, it won’t go anywhere.

Hoping to get the e custom sport in spring. Just hanging on until they come done to 20k plus vat second hand.

How will you eventually remove the tank once it's been glued down?

Last time I was at Grippatank they had a Transit custom Ev ready to go for someone.I never looked inside but they only bolt tanks in so I’m guessing there must be a way to fix properly.

They were very pricey.The van itself was over 40k (they may have dropped in price now)
