Think skip after a very rough arsed pumber has taken a bathroom out, taken off all the tiles and lobbed it all in, and then someone has put a settee and pram on top. Thats what my van looks like inside most days.

 

[Guest123]

Here's me Caddy....Trannys being serviced.

 

[pennywise]

where's all the stock

 

[Amp David]

Very tidy lenny.

What did you pay for the 4 tread steps?

 

[Guest123]

where's all the stock

In a big steel container, about 4 feet away.

Very tidy lenny.

What did you pay for the 4 tread steps?

Cant remember of the top of my head.....bout £50 I think.

 

[KNIPEX]

very nice lenny, you have plenty of kit there.

be good to see some pics of your tranny once you have it back to m8.

 

[pennywise]

need a bigger van

 

[pennywise]

And the side, might be able to squeeze something else in there somewhere

 

[Steve_P]

Still a bit of room in there, don't know what the problem is!!

The inside of your van looks pretty good, is that a ex-british gas van? Im looking to get the same sort of van with the in built storage. How much did you pay for the van? if you dont mind me asking.

Cheers

[pennywise]

It is ex BG got it 3yr ago up in mesham near birmingham at the fleet sale at the British car auctions sale. It had 25K miles on the clock ,It's a 53 plate and I payed £5400 inc the VAT which was still applicable at the time of sale. Great van no problems in 3yrs touch wood.

Same van as mine, ex british gas. Have you removed you limiter? Iv been told all i need to replace is the ecu. Its not a quick as other transit connects.

 

[Amp David]

Is it a British Gas van that you've gotthere pennywise?

What they like to get on with?

 

[pennywise]

It came with the limiter taken off, I've had it up to a ton with a tail wind and no roof rack..

so Far no mechanical faults runs really nicely. Think I may have to upgrade at some point this year to a tranny or a vito only because I need the space.

 

[KNIPEX]

cracking pics m8, love all the hilti kit together m8 very nice, im sure you can fit the odd screw in somewhere in that van lol.

 

[Tin]

Does anyone know where I can pick up a ex-gas van with the internal racking??? I have a budget of £2000-£2500

 

[Amp David]

Other than the auctions try autotrader.

They're usually connects or combos. Good buy if you can get one with racking still in.

Hi all,
I will upload pics of my van, but just to let you know, its a black Renault Trafic 100 swb 1.9 turbo diesel.
I have ply-lined the back and i bought those plastic 4 drawer units from B & Q. I bought 4 in total and put them up above the wheel arches (2 on each side) and secured them onto the ply. They were only £14.99 each one and they are hard wearing and fit loads in.
I hold them closed when not in use by using those elastic rope type retainers with the hooks.
The van looks tidy and I know wheer everything is. Cheaper than the racking which I got quoted at £1900 plus vat !!!!

Best regards,
Sav

P.S does any one know what to type in on Easybay, if someone was to need the seals for the main fuses......just asking thats all...lol

 

[pennywise]

All the ones from the fleet auction come with the racking still in them, good job too as on Bott's website the same BG racking is worth £1700 plus the vat and fitting you can buy all the racking on ebay though where van dealers have ripped it all out. So you could buy a normal connect and just fit the racking yourself. My m8 has got £3500 grands worth of Sortimo racking in the back of his long wheelbase transporter it looks amazing you couldn't tell what trade he is by looking as nothing is on display.

go with the vito

used both transit was crap its heavy on juice and falls to bits

gone through 3 vitos we change the van every 3 years for some reason there pretty nippy and reasonobly comfy loads better than a transit and not as thirsty

 

[pennywise]

Hopefully going to get one (vito) off the company that my cousin works for, they change their vans every three to four years. His one has just had everything replaced on it under warranty.

let me guess you have a sticker on the van that says "no toos left in van overnight" plus about 1million squids insurance on the van and tools.

 

[pennywise]

No no sign, though I've heard rumors that they make your van invulnerable to thieves!!! . Who ever came up with those signs must of been ****ed, thinking that they could deter people from braking in just by telling them that there's nothing left in the van overnight, doesn't stop people having a go and chances are the person doesn't take them in at night anyway.
As for million pound insurance only got the £12500 I'm afraid

Used the connect when i was with SSE now that was one thirsty van !
Vitos look like a nice van havent driven one yet but will prob get one of these next.

 

[lloyd1980]

I would show you the inside of our van at work but the health inspector may get involved
Think, manky old dustsheets, lumps of dried filler/cement, ripped out old accesories, backboxes, switches, various old lupas and contactium breakers lobbed in, think old silverline rods that have snapped, old tubes of caulk, ladders held on roof with stinking bungees, broken wingmirror, bald tyres and a tail light that doesnt work, it takes about ten mins to start the thing in the morning, it billows out blue deisel fumes straight into the cab as the manifold has hole in it, and it is a ten year old fiat, it has 1 windscreen wiper and it looks like something out of only fools and hosrses. it is a complete embarrasment to drive and I hate it, have complained to bosses but deaf ear syndrome so this is what were stuck with . in fact when I get a chance ill post a pic so you too can laugh your --- off at the sh it heap

oh and yes it passed the MOT!!!!! we were as shocked as you, - he has a fella he pays cash at the local garage
I would love to set it alight

...and yet another impressive effort!

 

[DavidW]

i thought very good pictures i never new you need so many tools when you first start out on your own

 

[Damo666]

To imbaressed to show the mess inside but this is the outside of my 2008 Merc Vito dualiner 2.5d great van not thirsty, had a renault traffic before which was a great van but not as comfy for those longer drives.

 

[jjjinx]

i was going to post some pic's but they're 1mb+ so too big to attach

 

[Thanatosgratus]

host the pics on ImageShack® - Online Media Hosting and link the thumbnails here

 

[jboy1888]

Here is mine when I first got it kitted out.

 

[jjjinx]

thats real nice jboy

very smart i do like, but i bet it was expensive though.

 

[cbw]

Hmmm, only one I have at present, quite well racked out, no prizes for guessing who owned this before me!!!!!

 

[jjjinx]

vauhall vivaro, my baby! shes not new but she's mine. the shelving came with her and it does just fine for the moment.

I do need to get a roof rack when funds are available.


kudos to James (cbw) for helping me upload the pics I've been trying to upload these pics since yesterday!


oh well they've come out small, but at least there here lol


Jon.

 

[cbw]

Try attatching them at full size?

My pics are too big if I do it that way but it may work??

CBW

 

[jjjinx]

na, this is the only way they attach unfortunately, I've also tried imageshack but that don't work either.

Never mind mate, thx for trying.

 

[jjjinx]

lets see what this turns out like, looks like in the preview its good


W00T!!! at last

I used another program on the net called "picture resizer.com" and that did the trick with the help of Dan the mod & James.

 

[jjjinx]

this is test for Dan the mod to check if i can upload full pics now. Its a c/u I changed back in December. I had a real struggle as my boss who was supplying new tails didn't turn up till late in the day and I had already fitted everything but the tails.

 

[Spudnik]

Pics work fine.

 

[deanovilla]

Pennywise - Where did you get the stacking boxes from (top ones says Dave's 1 fix box).
I got one with a Mikita drill and have been looking for simular boxes for ages 18months+.

Thanks in advance
Jim

 

[eskimo39]

Jim, they are called Festool Systainer cases and can be found here at quite a good price : Storage, Festool Systainer & Festool Sortainer

Hope it helps.

[High Tower]

what the stıhl saw for hıghtower?

It doesn't belong in there just too lazy to walk it back down garage. Used it to create a kitchen diner for a mate

 

[Amp David]
