Yea the connect is what I was looking at - economy has to be a priority especially when you do a lot of quoting jobs/emergency runs to wickes etc. - thats where the wife's 206 diesel comes in handy. I used to run a 3 litre auto bm which cost more to get to a lot of quotes than any profit on them!

i have an ldv convoy short wheelbase, ex high top...still not enough room..like a mobile shed/skip..i do plastering as well so its handy for carrying boards and the likes.

Renault Kangoo............Is ok but should have got the side door version.

Need something bigger now.........with side door. Backs going humping the stuff out of the back all the time

i paid £800 for my vauxhall combo taxed and tested of ebay, a few bumps and scratches but runs like a dream will do me for first year to see how it goes no need spending a fortune or going in debt till you know if tiling is going to work out..

I own a Vw T4 2.5TDi Lwb, took me ages to find the exact model but its class but I would say that as i've always been a Vw fanatic 🙂

My brother is a carpenter and just sold he's T4 and has just bought a Mitsibushi L300 for about a grand M reg and its great, 2.5D so lots of torque which is what you need for all the tools and hills etc.. smaller vans for roughly a grand i'd look at Caddys, then Japenese makes Nissan etc then Astras then Fords as there prone to rusting esp the transits!! imo

Vauxhall Combos seem popular, I've got one to, you can pick good clean second hand diesels up fairly cheap. great to start with. You can get loads in and with a roof rack boards are no problem.
