    Hi guys, I after buying a van but don't want anything too big. I'm a one man band and have to change my Toyota hiace. Does anyone know if a MWB transit with the sit out and bulk head out take 4m wide carpet cuts?
    Cheers

    If you go for the jumbo transit you don't need to remove the bulkhead.

    Cheers guys appreciate the info. I don't really want a big van so will look at the Renault trafic then if that'll take 4m widths.

    Don't know how to put up pics but if you got an email or facebook I can send you a pic of mine so you can see what I got done to be able to get 4m on.

    Had my Ford Custom 12 months now
    I can can get loads of ply on and all my gear no problem apart from all the tools in my garage coz I've got to many.
    It's perfect for what I'm doing
    No complaints what's so ever

    I`ve got one too.
    I think you have to keep the drains under the windscreen clear, or they block, and the rain will piss all over the engine, and seize the injectors.
    There are specialists who can remove the injectors now, and Vauxhall have accepted it as a valid warranty claim.
    There a cheap van, mine has been 100%, very good on fuel too

    I had a vivaro and it went up to 300,000 miles without any problems and I had it for 10 years I then bought a Renault master lwb, couldn't wait to sell it and get another vivaro now I'm happy,
    People say vivaro and the likes have injector problems but if serviced and injector cleaned regular they will last forever

    MAD FOR IT!!!!!

    Go for the biggest and newest you can afford - you won't regret it in the long run.
