So my van has just died on me today. Been told not worth getting fixed and will cost more then what the van is worth. Thinking of getting a van on lease hire would these companies be ok with you putting a system in back of the van ? Or can that be a problem only looking for like a small van like a Citroen berlingo


Thanks

I remember test driving a dispatch years ago the salesman told me it’s a 3 seater 🤣🤣,3 seater I don’t think so the word sardines comes to mind.
When I change to another transporter I’m gonna change the bench seat for another single seat,it takes 2 in the front yes but you wouldn’t want to have to go to far as a bolt upright passenger,as for the smaller vans I’ve not seen a proper 3 seater they are all far to small.

That's good to know. Are all dual passenger van seats fixed fairly upright? I need a good passenger seat but an occasional 3rd seat. Any ideas?

[NWH]

Yeah they are m8 my transporter the space is fine but it’s too upright when my Mrs rides in it with me in the beginning she said blimey can I put the seat back lol,it’s even worse in the smaller vans because you have even less width with it being to upright.
Like I say next time I’ll make sure it has 2 what they call captains chairs.

I can recommend the Berlingo. Had a few of them now, great little van and takes a 450 tank nicely. Seats are fine for a couple of young ‘uns, bit tight if 3 adults in the front.

Mine are leased and I just take out the ply lining and replace it to cover any holes when the van goes back. Not had a problem with this method so far.

Yeah need a 3 seater just for when pick the 2 kids up from school. Have asked around a few local garages to take system out but won’t do it. I wonder if this is because i have split charger just seems that garage won’t help me lol. Can anyone recommend anywhere that would take a system out and put it in a new van. I can’t do it ant got a clue been window cleaning 14 years but when comes to stuff like that i ant got a clue

My connect L2 240 has 3 seats in the front cab.....the middle seat is small but it's ok for the occasional short journey.....

[NWH]

Yeah as Daz says the occasional short journey all vans albeit a so called 3 seater some are more of a 3 seater than others,like I said years ago I test drove a dispatch it was laughable it felt like all 3 off us were driving lol.
If you need a 3 seater and you need 3 seats often I wouldn’t go for a smaller van,if my bench seat reclined it would be fine for 2 passengers but they’d still be bolt upright almost.

The one the Trotters had was nice.

Ooh, three seater  .
What about something like The Goodies used?

I think you are confusing a dispatch for a berlingo/partner. The dispatch is near enough the same size as your transporter. I've had 2 dispatches and the dual passenger seat is comfortable for 2 people.

Unless you are talking about the MKI dispatch, then your comments are outdated.

Are the seats heated?

[Oban pidgeon]

The amal 3 seater are barely 3 seats. And the Berlingos drive like there going to fall apart... And then they do 😂

[NWH]

Makes me laugh when I hear people say something along the lines of a Berlingo is anything like a 3 seater,it’s like saying an Audi TT has 4 seats maybe it has but you wouldn’t want to sit in the back.

You base this statement on what?

Utter nonsense as usual.

You’ll be out buying a Berlingo to go with your ova 8 pole next.

I won’t m8 I don’t know anything about Ova poles but I know enough about those little bricklayers vans,that’s about all the room they have enough for  a bucket and a trowel and maybe 1 bag of cement.

[NWH]

I’ve had almost every pole Gardiner’s are the best I’ve had a smaller van and a transporter if you had the experience of both you wouldn’t be,recommending a van like a berlingo for someone looking for 3 seats or someone that was thinking of going WFP is ridiculous.
Unless you are thinking of doing a bit of gardening and you need 3 seats get a decent medium or larger van.
