Oh,by the way,did I mention layout and payload?:D:rolleyes:

It is said that most buyers end up keeping their third van,having sold the first two as they wanted a different layout.

Payload is important as you don’t want to be overweight,and the dealers won’t tell you anything about it,the only way to check is go to a weighbridge. Lots of threads on here about it.

Good luck in your search.

Payload and layout are important.
Do not think that 400kgs of payload sounds like plenty if buying from a dealer. That will be closer to 20kgs.
Read up on payload on here where you will get some horrendous truths. Insist on it being weighed, or make sure you have the C1 licence (Pre 97 for passing your test) and by one off someone who made the mistake of not checking payload and save a fortune.
Layout.......never ending conversation.

I think diesel/petrol is now becoming a decision as petrol is making the green comeback atm. I think if i were buying brand new now I would be tempted to buy petrol with a underslung LPG tank.

Whatever you decide, enjoy, and remember about the payload.

You only get 5 posts before you have to pay your 15 quid for the year. You will save that 15 quid several times over in a year.
