i think buying a pricy van might be a guy thing, the plumber's on the lookout for a 'new' vw van, looked at the mercs and weren't that impressed. i'm still using my vw golf, obviously there's a lot of cleaning when we want to use her for socialising - doesn't spilt grout get everywhere!!!!

You could even but something like a xsara picasso as the seats come out the back in a jiffy and you can easily get ply in then if you need to pop seats back in. Whats PPE is it personal protective eqipment? only really need glasses i think. £2000 on marketing seems a lot as well.

I think most of us started with around £3000 to £5000, You can get a good clean second hand deisel van for that, a good set of quality basic tools (good cutters essential) and have some left for advertising. Remember your'e going into this for a better quality of life not sleepless nights and stress. Listen to all the lads on here giving sound advice.

Just found this thread and thought it was interesting. My first vehicle was a Ford Cortina estate, ran it into the ground and then a VW transporter before moving on to the VW lt range. Tools wise, my first cutter was from the dark ages but it worked, cant remember its name now, it would be interesting to know how the original guy got on with his £20k budget.
