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.

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

« Last post by Splash and dash on January 30, 2026, 07:04:56 pm »You need to know where the damage was and inspect the van before buying, my van is D and ive had a van that was a cat C, only the rear panel behind the bumper that was dented slightly, its classed as structural but its was really nothing at all.
As for insurance ive never bothered to tell em
I’m sure they already know from the registration. So if you have to claim they may have grounds not to pay out. Just thinking out loud.
Yes they will now as it’s logged on DVLA computer that the insurance company’s have access to , but yet again it’s something that you should declare when insuring a vehicle

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.

Window Cleaning Forum / Extreme 25
« Last post by Scottish Cleaning Service on January 30, 2026, 01:59:27 pm »Out cleaning yesterday and I was using my 6 year old Extreme 25' and top pole snapped in the middle. Can't complain as I thought it was indestructible and finished with my Extreme 22. Will buy a replacement and see how long the other poles last. Folk complain about the cost of Extreme but its easy on the shoulders and well worth the money as far as I am concerned.
