Maybe, but the quickfit guy said all is well there, in fact he said for the age of the van it looks extremely good. There is always a risk that something needs fixing, especially at that age. But I prefer a brand name to look after my van (except the dealership brand as they take the mickey, plus they treated me bad by not returning my calls when I constantly called them about used vans, trying to flog a new one to me, knowing that I had a limited budget and did not want a brand new van).

I see drivers abuse their vans, jumping over humps and sleeping policemen where the vans hit the tarmac and one hears scraping. They slam the doors or throw their stuff into the back. All banged up and taped up. I feel sorry for the vehicles. Just because its a working vehicle does not mean one should treat it like crap in my opinion.

Sometimes I carry many bags of compost and the van does not sink in. If I put the same amount in a car the back sinks in. Yeah I did that once before I had the van. Not good. Made me realise I really need to get a van.

Because I dont want to post too much information out there on the WWW. Its irrelevant anyway. As a woman one needs to be more careful I find.

I was just panicking about the licence plate issue. But thats OK now.

Good luck to you and your business.

Don't let the nay-sayers wind you up.

You seem to have your head screwed on as to what you want out of life - good on you.

OP doesn't even want to mention the model, so a photo is out of the question as I would think the company name will be plastered over it.

Van previously had private plate, so all sorted now.

Keep up LT.

I'm confused. Why would you have a business van expensively sign written an drive around in it for all to see but not post a picture of it on here because that would give away too much about you?
