I saw one in real life today-I think it looks much better in real life.
Didn't see the inside mind...

Don't be fooled by the photo of the transit, it is showing the limited model which is a high spec. The price shown is for the entry level 250 model which is as good as useless for window cleaning due to it's low payload.

Make sure of the payload, as I think the vivaro model is the lower payload !

If you work on your own and have no plans for a second man the 270 might be fine, but if you need a 2 man system you will probably be looking at the 310 model.

Thanks for the info I did wonder if it would be enough I have a 650ltr upright 2 man setup - will this be too heavy?

Go and get a Hyundai iload 2.5 diesel - 5 year warranty. 1060kg payload. Ok for wfp only - 650L 2 man. It's what I got after the Doblo as a 1 man.

If you want 800L get a Fiat/Pug/with 1200kg payload.
It's a game of three halves!

I have just purchased a new VW T32 Transporter 4 Motion 1300kg but not cheap. And with extras it will take 16wks to be built.  :(

4 motion and 1300kg?
 I thought the largest payload with 4x4 was closer to 1100kg?

Have you got the link Roy?

That why its a custom build, but they do them. Also 3 engine sizes 110bhp I think 140 bhp and 180bhp.

https://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/range/transporter/

The T32 is the biggest and comes with long and short wheel base and 3 heights.

But the 4 motion diff and added ancillaries are heavy, I'm not sure how heavy, but the GVW is still 3200kg which takes away from the payload, ones I could find we're 1195kg and 1183kg. Engines size-they're all 2.0 with different turbo's (the 180ps is twin turbo)

Sorry to pester-that's the van I want but with the spec I wanted it was barely 1100kg, that extra 200kg would really help if you don't mind sharing your stuff...
