ist T30 1.9 tdi 140 bhp ?
Tom is not personal mate 🙂
I don't want to tempt fate, but a van vault hopefully won't be needed. I've not had a van broken into and I've had a van since I started at this as a spotty lad!
I am insured for the tools too...but would rather keep them than have the money!
Yes I need to clean it. I NEVER cleaned the inside of my old van. Not once. I don't know if I ever cleaned the inside of the one before that either!
I actually had to ask a mate what he cleans the inside of his van with as I have no idea (warm soapy water is good apparently!).
I will try to clean the outside. My next thing is the sign write it, but I'm skint. Which is ironic as I've been working my butt off. Just need to knuckle down to invoicing. I'm too addicted to this forum!!

Would like to see ur van T.B, or is it a estate
Cheeky git, course I can. I'd rather spend money on my cars than a van.
Looks the bees knees mate. Would defo get a van vault, especially after listing everything on here
transporter rules
Danny didn't you forget to mention its guarded by 2 Rottweilers 24 hours a day with motion sensor lasers and gun wielding guards with a nervous twitch
I do have a rocket launcher in the bedside cabinet. Just in case. Pity as it will also vapourise the van, but that's a small price to pay to kill off a scummy tool thief.
Right, I'm off to finish some invoicing. Got to try and pay for this lil beaut!

Van:
There you go Gerard. There's a picture of my van, which is not an estate but needs a wash, and my car, which is an estate and doesn't need a wash.

But they're not Land Rovers so they can't be nice.
Hi OP. My brother used to work in the motor trade and he said they sold more new transit parts than old ones so my advice on that would be to avoid the new-shape transits.
I've owned my VW Crafter for nearly 2 years now. It's 6 years old now and still running perfect. It's cost me nothing in repair bills over the last 2 years. Even the oil lasts for 2 years (that's the service intervals). Quality vehicles and I think when you look a the cost of ownership they are cheaper to own than transits etc. VW's last for years and years so they work out quite cheap. They also keep their value very well and as we all know depreciation is the biggest cost of owning a vehicle.

The MWB version of the Crafter is perfect too, it's long enough so you can also fit all the copper tube you want inside the van plus soil pipes, ladders, chipboard flooring whatever you want. I've got the Hi-Roof version because I'm a lanky ******* and I like to be able to stand up in the back without hitting my head!

Yes, I get nice friendly waves from all my colleagues and my happy customers. They never forget "that friendly young plumber with his shiny red van"
