Is it the 85 or 100 bhp model?

 

[kathwilcox]

85, but thinking of having it remapped for better fuel economy

I started with the Mk5 2.0D SWB Mid roof then the Mk6 2.4TDCI MWB Mid roof & now got the Mk7 2.4TDCI 115 T350 LX ELWB (Jumbo). Been remapped & kicking 136bhp now. Needed it with the weight I'm pulling. Made no difference to fuel though. Love my jumbo!

What you got in there mate; the kitchen sink?

Occasionally we all have need of a larger van, but isn't that taking things too far?

We had that problem when we went to busfest, but still had a great weekend!

I'll be honest, I need bigger! I've a lot in that van. Just mind, I'm not just a spark, I'm a joiner, plumber, tiler, plasterer, painter decorator and so much more. It's fully racked & packed to the gunnels with stuff but fully organised. As well as that, it's packed full of sounds & camera equipment. Here's an old vid of my camera setup:

Used to have a toilet cubicle in it but replaced it with crates for the dogs. An Irn Bru bottle does the same job lol

Similar range of trades as me then. I keep my regularly used tools in the van but bigger and less frequently used tools and most materials get stored in the garage and shed and shoved in the van as required.

Couple of shed pics (which I've shown before). Maybe I should start a "show us your shed" thread!

I wouldn't recommend a thread like that. I purposely don't put pics up of what I've got & where it is. There are some bad people out there who would like to know that sort of thing

 

[HandySparks]

I take your point.

That's not a work van. Categorically not. Who wants cream leather in a work vehicle.

"oooooh er, sorry lads better get those boots off before you get in yea.....oh no smoking or eating thanks, hang on, your hands are dirty, baby wipes please fellas."

Pants.

Your not allowed to smoke in a van anyways
