New van time, yes van!

[MarkX]

My trusty Nissan van turned 4 and 92k miles so had an itch to change it. I originally wanted a Caddy maxi, had a drive and for the price wasn't impressed. Passed a Ford garage on the way home and had a go in a Transit Connect, loved it and ordered a Lwb Trend :smile:
I love it, whisper quiet and so smooth and lovely to drive, 1st full tank did 526 miles so a great start :smile: Never thought I'd buy another Ford!

Pick up

I hate wheel trims so had to get some wheels, as it's a working van I stayed standard size and used the oe Goodyears

Some wax

Thule wing bars, can't believe how quiet they are, my old roof bars howled like hell

I'm replacing my fleet after xmas and my current connects have been bomb proof. Great vans.

Looks great for a van, that interior console is exactly the same as my old ZS Ecoboost Fiesta.

Very nice bud, I'd love a new van.

I hope mine is the same :smile: Never considered one before tbh but I'm so impressed with it :up:

:up: at the moment if feels a bit too nice for me to abuse daily for work :tongueout:

I don't need a van for work but I drive an old Combo which I've owned for 6 year's.

I'd love a Caddy Maxi van as I've started doing a bit of valeting at the weekends.
The combo is just a bit old now. [emoji45]

yeah the combos are showing their age now! I've been self employed for 17 years (!) and this is the 1st van with A/C, comfort and cool air, heaven! :tonguewink:

A/c is great,but cruise control that brakes downhill is more of a must with regards to speed camera`s.

Fixed that for you :up:
OP, what do you do that you need a van?

I loved my old connect. Would have another.

Sounds like you turn up and fart in peoples houses.

Load stops on the roof bars and small plates with legal sized font, most won't like them but I do!
2k miles in and still loving it

 

[Advikaz]

I've got a few of these, two 15 plates and a 65 as well as the bigger custom.

They're good vans. Drive like a fiesta. I do find the drivers seat gives me a leg ache after a while.

The bigger custom has a s**t clutch/gearbox combo. And the suspension on the rear is crap too!

Not driven a custom tbh but I thought they'd be great! I've had quite a few vans over the years, transit, sprinter, vitos, vivaros etc but these (I have 2) are my favourite by a long way, hopefully prove reliable too :up:

Where did you get the plates from mate, I need some.
