Well mine is the newer chain driven engine I think, so hopefully no cambelt issues!

Had my transit nearly 2 years and no problems as yet on a 07 plate.
Mine as a high roof so plenty of room to stand up in.
Had a vivaro before this and it was nothing but trouble.

All my vans have come already plylined.
I just make sure anything that is chocolate I put on bottom shelf or on floor as not to melt in summer 2/3 weeks.

It amazes me how some of you guys run such big vans, must cost you a fortune in fuel?
I run a 1.3 vauxhall combi van and although it is a little tight I have it fully racked out and its very good on fuel, does about 50 + mpg!

£3900 last year, next van might be a smaller unit. But I do enjoy the flexibility of delivering new machines and doing site visits on return journey without need to return to base..
I'm with Nigel on this, got 1.6 Peugeot Partner, great on fuel, good for parking. Put machines for installs on roofrack and on top of stock, do them first then do round.

Guess you can pop towers on the rack by your self easy enough, but thinking its a 2 man job for Boulys unless you have been doing some gym work?!
