If you are worried about water in your van get it covered in linex. I couldn't care if mine ever was to leak. I often hose the back of my van out to keep it nice and clean.

And Rich, whats all the black poop on the van? Is it real or photoshop?

What van is it?

OK.

If you have car derived van (Ford Transit Connect, Berlingo etc), you will see that the cargo floor in higher than the footwells. Most vans still have the rear passenger footwell and a plate covers them to level off the cargo floor. Any water leak will get into your footwells and you will have a damp smell before long.

Recommend that you seal the floor, fibreglass followed by a top coat, and include a wall around the front and sides (where the rear doors would go) to ensure that any spilt water is contained and rather finds its way out the back doors.

If you have a slightly larger van, ie., the old Citeron Distch, Citroen Relay etc., then they generally have a cargo floor that is lower than the floor in the driver's cabin and you won't have the same issue.


Success is 1% inspiration, 98% perspiration and 2% attention to detail!

Spruce , thats exactly what happened with the Astra , over time the footwells filled and it ran through to the cabin area .
I ended up cutting out the raised load area , which worked out really well as the tank sat lower , it also lined up bang on with the body shell to enable me to frame it in .

Did you get the van sorted out?

Cant decide on Linex or Speedliner or Protectakote now. The transit custom has a plastic bed liner fitted, so its more of a backup really.

Yes it got sorted. I got in touch with Linex directly and they got in touch with the other company involved and van has been sorted 100%. I recommend linex flooring its awesome and has a lifetime guarantee. I was compensated by the other company and feel they sorted things out professionally. I am pleased.

This was it after 6 hours of builder clean work .
The bloke got 3 weeks inside , he then came out and broke his license trying to attack me , he got community service for that , which he failed to do , so they banged him up for another 4 months .

15 year ago i would have burnt his house down (ask Rich Ham)  ;)
