Best van in it`s class the LWB 1 that is,makesure you get a ford half height bulkhead otherwise you will get a build up of water coming through to the front as said.You will have to give it a hefty amount of sealer around where it meets the floor otherwise it will still get through also around the plastic part by the where the side door opens,i don`t know how people use a van for WFP without a bulkhead due to this problem with water getting into the footwells.

thanks for the advice. I'm putting a full bulkhead in that I've got off ebay. I'll make sure I seal it as you suggested

I also want to get a Connect soon. The problem with water going to front can be solved by fibreglass in a wooden strip across the floor pan between the door posts and drilling a few plug holes in the floor just make sure they are not into something under the floor and put a rubber gromite in the hole and cut a cross in the gromite so water could leak out.I have always down this all my cars boots as there will always be a leak sooner or later.

when I was looking for one of these I was looking for the LX air con 07 ish model
they are like gold dust you cant find that model very hard they got loads of miles etc,so ended up with a smaller,which I regret buying even though its got electric
windows air con alarm  central locking very quick fastest one I have had

I have a LWB turbo diesel one and a 500 litre tank,I have a cage type bulkhead with a little door behind the passenger seat and to be honest have no problems with water leaking through under the seats etc..
I only fill the tank to 300-350 litres full and does'nt leak,it's a Wydale tank and they leak on the lids like anything and thats why I don't fill them right up but all in all have no problems with water coming through,the tank is about 6 inches from the bulkhead and not a drop comes through,if your reel leaks I suppose it will leak but all is fine with mine and like I say I have a wire cage type bulkhead

Hooray, maybe you'll stop pinching my water now....

Only joking mate any time you like, figure I owe you one for the help you gave me when I set up all those years ago.

Though not as long ago as you. 

[Paul Golding]

lol !! it was very much appreciated 

not sure on the tax yet as it already has some on it,

well, I have it !! . . drives very well, pulls really well.

only problem was on the way home the glow plug light flashed, engine went into safe mode and then cut out !! happened a couple of times. Quick search seems to suggest plugging in and finding the fault code.

aarrggh . . can't I at least have 1 problem free day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There should be no water on the van floor full stop! If there is, somethings wrong?

Mines bone dry all the time, twin DI's in there too.
