    I'm hardly doing any carpets any more so am going to change the van.
    The traffic/vivaro/primastar vans have had a minor revamp and it looks more suitable. So that's probably what I'll go for.
    Got to get a test drive sorted then talk money.
    My current van is a 59 reg lwb transit with 4/5 seats (depends if I put double or single seat in the front).
    I'm hoping that'll cover the deposit

    Defo consider the custom mate, if you haven't drove oneat least. By far the best van I have had...

    I would have loved the sport if it was in Lwb but the custom limited is just as good especially when I get it mapped.
    im trying to get the foldable roofrack but ford want £700 with the vat so they can go and swivel on that. Cant justify paying that for a roofrack.

    Would have had it as the extra when ordered the van but they told me another 3 wks wait... WTF!

    Not had any issues with my custom (touch wood)
    I heard there was some revisions made on the 14plates as apposed to the 63 plates. Such as door hinges snapping, oil pump failure and leaky washer bottles but ive had no issues on my 14 plate.

    like any van, there will be negs against it but as long as you have warranty on whichever van you get then you should be ok.
