Yeah will be getting some warranty with it Clinton !

Let`s just hope that`s the end of my breakdown stories,i will say though it has never left me stranded,in the 3 odd years of owning it,i have always managed to get out and back again,all be it slower than normal,even when the seals went on the turbo,and the time the accelerator cable snapped off the cup thingy  ;D Can always whip the engine out the roc,and bung that in if this one goes,would be fun in a van

Yes ,reduced my yellow pages adds today,going back down to a 45 mm box,but have added another area to yell.com,checked my stats from the book 16 calls since it was published,most of them were people trying to sell me stuff !
So will have money to get decent signs on the van.More good news is that the caddy vans are galvenised,so it won`t rust !

Well i am now the owner of a shiny blue caddy van  ;D All new to me this abs ,leccy windows,stereo,sat nav full 12 months mot,he put 6 months tax on for me,back is all ply lined out.Managed to get £200 trade for the heap,glad to see the back of it,it overheated on the way there,as it`s last ditch attempt to f@/k me off !
Let`s hope it lasts 3 years would be nice,then i will trade it in against a newer one !

Mark

Small price to pay for all the time and worry you had with the banger. Great move.

Yeah i am crossing everything to be honest,although it does have warranty on it .will take a bit of getting used too,was with it as it was being mot`ed so got the chance to have a real good look around it,it`s nice and tidy,the engine has a big plastic cover over it,so will be leaving that well alone !
Think my customers will appreciate it too,not having my old heap parked up outside their houses !

If you had a nice tidy van then yiu would realise how important it was and how much work you will get from it. You have said it all most of my work comes from estate agents. If you were driving a good van well sign written then you would get a lot of work of that.
I get load of work off my van and are very often answering the phone to people that are behind, me alongside me, just passed me, etc.
Peoples perception of you is so important to the quality and amount of work you will get. It is ok to say you don't want it or dont need it but you do not know what you are missing out on.
