You just need a bigger safe for all that cash you earn Phil

Got a SWB Connect. Great running and reliable but wish I'd got something a bit bigger now. Something like a Transporter would probably be the best balance, with a tow bar and roof rack just incase.

Got a Peugeot Expert 2.0 HDI fantastic van. View attachment 47346

That's what I've just bought but I'm struggling with ideas to kit it out because of the 2 sliding doors

 

[Peter]

Could always shelve over one of the doors and block it off.

 

[Ian]

As [MENTION=5786]Wingn[/MENTION] has suggested, have shelving facing outwards on one of the doors, for all your everyday bits and pieces. A bit like this

 

[Bubblecraft]

I did that with my Mk6 tranny as I could get full access via the side door as I had a full length internal glass rack

Got rid of l200, loved it but no room for gear,got myself a lovely silver 09 vito,nice van. Need to build racking though

Hi i have 56 nissan primastar 85k , had a bad sqeaking noise when i went over speed bumps had to replaced 2 new plates that the ball joints sit on last year both sides , got the parts from eurpoarts £160 plus mechanics fees , went for a mot this year failed saying 1 plate has too much play so went back to euro parts and as they were a year and 4 weeks they wont do any thing , so had to but 2 new nissan plates £270 plus mechanics fees again , so lesson learnt i wont be buying major parts for the van other than manufactures , guys who have the trafic vivaro primaster be careful of this and also i have heard if you get a engine management light come up with injector problems beware this is expensive changing injectors
