Just been lookin at a lovely 05 transit.....just down the road from me. £5k + Vat DOH 59,000 on the clock. Gotta admit it's got me juices flowin lol. Thinkin of part exchangin it with me combo on an 02 plate. Only got about 29,000 on mine. Must be worth a few nicker  

 I have a transit 05 reg 76000 on the clock 100ps 2.0td mwb/ Mroof a1 van go for the transit if you can.

how much for van ian?

[Robin Ray]

just going back to the combo for a minuite. I have a 1.3 cdti 2000 combo with a 500l tank and carry a gutter vac and a pressure washer frequently and its great, bags of power and good fuel economy. I sometimes wish I had a had a transit size van but not for work only surf boards Kyacks etc. If you never need more than 500l their a good van.

Can you get a picture of your motor loaded Robin Ray. I would like to see this little 1.3 carrying so much.

Thanks

Just had a look at the load on my van. It's 1780kg. I'll fill up wi diesel today and fill up the tank and pay the dump a visit....I mean tomorrow. Closed Monday.   :

Ive got a 350 in a combo. Cant remember the exact payload, but Im pushing it; mine isnt one of the vans in the 800Kg range thats for sure, its the 588Kg I think.

[Blue Frog Systems]

1780kg includes the weight of the vehicle.

You need to be aware if you have A/C too, that makes a great difference.

what's A/C??  :

Well i took my van to the dump today to recycle 2 bags of green waste  got the van weighed after, full tank(petrol and water)........my limit, as mentioned is 1780kg................it weighed in at 1740kg.........250l,hose reel three poles,ladders and points...backpack.......that's about it. So i was pretty much borderline. Anyone else with much more on board really wants to be careful  The man who said 250l plus a container full............was pretty much on the money  Good work Windowwashers

Ladders? More than one?

Did the 1740 include yourself?

Tank and frame or just tank strapped in?

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

it depends on what model you have, i have just bought a 54 plate 1.3 cdti 2000 which takes just under 800kg's and plan on putting a 400 litre tank and a gutter vac/geny etc in it

this should help you as it depends on the model you have www.gmproductforum.co.uk/articles/2036.pdf

How heavy is your generator?
I am struggling in my escort, it has a payload of 650kg and I have a 350litre tank 100m microbore, pumps filters, 3 brushes, 24ft lance pressure washer and 50m 1/2 inch hose. and that struggles.

I aint worried about the van taking the weight. I am worried about some kid running out in front of me.......me not braking in time and buggering 2 families lives in a matter of seconds.
