Hi all

I've been looking at vans today ... some good some not but one thing i'm not so sure on is whats the differance between the "80" & the  "100" & the "150" ... is this a differance in van size or load space or max load

I figure the swb, mwb, lwb means short, medium & long wheel base

Hi chris the difference between a transit 80 and a transit 150 is that the 80 has a payload of 800kg and the 150 has a payload of 1500kg.

[pjulk]

Exactly the same as ronaldo.

I have a transit 120 which is a 1200kg payload

Thanks guys ,  nearly bought an 80 swb today thinking a 650l tank would go in there quite nicely

just a word of warning, payload includes the driver

I'm still shopping for a van

who'd think it was so bloody hard to find a van ...... I bet if i had nothing to spend there would be loads of then

Chris try this link as u can see the vehicles before they even go into the paper, and find them close to home i used it myself a couple of weeks ago to seek out a mitsuibishi warrior for the mrs and found a right beauty the link is www.autotrader.co.uk.
Best of luck Ron.

CHRIS: WITH A LITTLE HINESIGHT a double wheel base would be the best option,one wheel pops 650 litres swilling about wow not for me,long wheel base as well,had room to swing a cat,it was involved in a fire now trying to fit all my tackle in a ldv pilot and carnt swing a mouse in it.

800 kilos  maybe not enough for me I need to carry a p/washer too so also need more space for extra bits and bobs

just a word of warning, payload includes the driver

And also the fuel i think.

Your welcome, they've got a good name locally.
Copy the map though.
It is in the middle of nowhere and not signposted at all.
It is very hard to find without a map.
