You dont mess about..took me about a month of research before i ordered my new van

I trust Gold's advice.  I really have no interest in cars or vans, I just like them to work.  ;D

Oh, it's fully ply lined and has a full bulkhead.

You'll like it. The bulkhead is a bonus, keeps you warmer in winter.

Looks like a decent van, especially seeing as you wont put any miles on it.
 I'd get the cambelt changed straight away if buying second hand,  irrelevant of what the previous owner has said. Cambelt and service and jobs a good 'un

(I always thought you couldn't MOT it unless it was within a month of the MOT expiry date..?)
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

You can MOT it any time you want but you will only get a certificate for 12 months.  If you MOT it within a month of it running out and it passes the remaining time left on the old certificate can be added on to the new one, so in effect you could have 13 months MOT.

That's the plan.  And a service.

Just picked the van up and brought it home; I'm very happy with it; thanks, Gold for your suggestion.

Vans 365 in Bristol were also very good, I thought. 

However, and unfortunately Storm Brian blew down one of the panels on my fence - first time ever - the one you advised me how to erect nearly 9 years ago, so you've lost a couple of Brownie points over that.

I've now got to swap the stuff over into my new (to me) van.

**sigh**

Glad to be of help.

Your fence fell down because you didn't use the helicopters to hold the panels in place while they set. Remember?
