Perfect Van for Electricians

[Dan]

What's the perfect Van for Electricians? And what Van do you have? If you have them, please attach pictures to your reply. We loooooove the pics!

Depends what and how much you carry, weather you want to tow, ect. We have Astras, Combos and Vivaros but the best all rounders and my favorite vans are the Combos.

Can anyone help, I have just done a rewire on a house that has been completley refurbished and the homeowner has decided to put the old boiler (Glow worm) back into service and wants a s plan. I dont normally get involved with boilers and there is no wiring diagram for the boiler. There is 2 flex cables coming from the boiler, one has the usual Cpc, Live and neutral. the other is a 5 core flex and without the wiring diagram that came with the boiler, i need to know what each core serves

My van is actually a dog van but I do use it for work also when im stuck

loads of pics and info on my mods here The van page » Lealemont Saint Bernards - Our site dedicated to Saints

Have to say its been good to me and would recommend transits to anyone although a few patches of rust are now visable (its an 05)

That’s impressive!

I drive a 2007 Mk 7 Ford Transit T350 115ps Jumbo LX. Heavily kitted with all the LX mod cons including heated windscreen, fog lights, auto lights & wipers, 6 speed gear box etc. Clifford alarm fitted & additional locks.

I have the OS fully racked including 2 custom crates built for my huskies & an internal glaziers frail on the near side & a large echo chamber at the front behind the cab.

It's a great van. Maybe a bit big for just a sparky but being a spark, joiner, plumber, tiler, decorator, roofer, bricky etc, it's ideal for me!

OK this is the industrial side of it. I used a Transit flat back for 12 years and before that Land Rover 110’s. You’d be amazed at the amount of junk we could accumulate in the back.

Just wish I’d got pictures of the 5 X 2.5M steel shed balanced on the back of the transit, it over hung a bit. (A lot). A FLT had to follow me to lift the arse end up every time it over balanced. Steering was a bit precarious.

I use a Vivaro and find it the perfect size with shelves in the back. I'd never buy anything smaller.
Worst van: citreon Dispatch (my last van) rubbish

Vw Transporter t5 104bhp but been remapped. Had transits,vivaros,connects,astras's nothing like a vw. Next step some 20" range rover stormer wheels

^Suppose they might see some dirt if they're on a van

Vauxhall vivaro van every time, make sure it has the 6-speed cog swapper not the 5 ,and its availaible with twin side loading doors so you can route out your gear from both sides.!

 

[brooky25]

Must look respectable when turning up to customers properties. Used to have a fiesta courier that didn't look too good on folks drives and they were not impressed with the oil leaks lol

i`m sure that many people will laugh at this but i`v been looking at second hand LDV 200 pilots....not fast but the 1.9 peugeot diesel just keeps going....lots of em cheap and the insurance for em isn`t too bad......dont rust like a transit either.......

 

[brooky25]

I would seriously consider another van. There's a reason why ldv's are so cheap and dont hold their price. They do drop to bits, transit would be a lot better

 

[telectrix]

there is no such animal as a perfect van.
