Grantlfc81 88 Posted April 21, 2019 Hi gents, if any of you have access to any, I’m after a cheap 3 seater van like a fiat doblo or Peugeot bipper that sort of thing. Let me know as they seem hard to find. only need it for 6-12 months, ideally white and needs to be presentable - thank you grant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Branning 149 Posted April 22, 2019 I think both them types of van are only 2 seaters. Unless you get a crew van but then have no load space. You would probably be looking at an expert as the smallest 3 seat van. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contracts 68 Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Berlingo Enterprise is the favourite small van with three seats (SLD, A/C & dash top nav) although you need to be friends if it’s a big lad in the middle seat. Also quite easy to sell on if sensible miles. Same with Partner Proffesional but they don’t seem to sell as well used.

I wish i could do gas work. I so want to but the whole stupid log book thing is impossible to do as no one wants to take you on as it slows you down Just do servicing and landlord certs £50 each, and basic cooker installations - rake in £300+ day for some bog standard work. Not many good diagnostic guys about as everyone is keen on replacing boilers. If you could do repairs you'd be very busy through word of mouth alone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grantlfc81 88 Posted May 13, 2019 I can fix any pretty much as long as the cost of parts doesn’t outway the cost of a new boiler. I’m good from electrical fault finding to combustion and circulation issues its all well and good saying you’ll be busy but unfortunately it doesn’t always work that way.
