You can get temperory roof racks from Argos, the blow up kind. Might do for a few days.

I wouldn't do this as the courtesy car's insurance won't cover anything like this.

To the OP, you can claim rental costs of a van from tax; it is an expense to run your business. I would claim all the costs as you have a courtesy car from the garage for private use whilst yours in being repaired.

id buy a ford focus saloon if i was stuck for over a week. they are cheap in comparison(£500 touch or thereabouts) cheaper compared  to buying a reliable van and also  pretty much bombproof  cos nobody want them being a saloon,but they take ladders easily

A good reason why having a trolley system on standby is a good idea. You can operate WFP out of an old crate of a van for a week or two.

I have a little triple ladder that fits in the back of the car, for days when the van is in for repair/mot etc

Yes, it means going back to trad, but at least your still out there earning some tokens...



... or just take the day off
