What Van do you guys and gals have?

The Vivaro I have is a 1.6 Bi turbo and it is fine. Won't win any races but gets you wherever and will sit at motorway speeds no problem at all.

Perfect. Just what I needed to know.

Do these have a place where the passenger side bulkhead drops down so you can run 3 metre lengths inside by any chance

I'm not sure, I have the crew cab version which doesn't but I'll see what one of the lads lwb panel van is like tomorrow. We all have the old shape though, you would have to ask again about the new model. I think I got such a good deal and it was the last plate before the new shape came out and had been pre-registered.

My Trafic has a flap under the passenger seat to slide pipe through
Swb and can take 3.6 meters
You have to slightly modify it to allow the seat to useable with the flap open

Transit custom has that as well mate.

Mwb master, has 10’ in back so can rack behind bulkhead but still get full sheets in easily (when tidy!).
Not too big, but I’d probably avoid if you have to park in busy town streets often.
Have 3m 4”pipe for copper tube etc internally hung from roof cross members - worth considering from a theft point of view with the cost of copper at the moment!

Thanks all. Needed up going for one of the PSA group vans and got a despatch.

Now, need help on van racking ideas. I have mine separated from the back of the side doors to the back so I can store tools in the back and back it up to my garage. What others gone for?

In need of a new second hand van. My doblo has kicked up its heels. Currently running around in a hired transit custom whilst I find something.
Prices have gone crazy.

They really have. I just paid 17k for 2017 plate, one owner, full sh and 2yr manufacturer warranty. My vivaro I bought in 2009 was 3yrs old, had 30k on the clock, ex sky vehicle and cost 7k

My doblo two and half years ago on a 56 with 80k on it and I paid 1200 for it. Wanting to spend about 5k on something but very little out there. The ones i do find end up having 150k miles on them.

VW Transporter Kombi - bought ex demo and loaded with extras - yes ouch to buy but it saved me a huge amount in tax ........... and seemingly keeps its value rather well
