VW T4 Vans - Any info out there?

not sure mate, mines insured commercially as i use it for carrying goods for work, i'd think you just ring up as normal and tell them you just want standard insurance, if i insured mine for personal then had to make a claim while i was at work they wouldnt pay out so not worth it

Ok fair enough mate, cheers.

my dad has the 105 bhp 1.9tdi 04 plate its a solid relible van but its gutless & slow

The 2.5 has more go but you pay for it, buy a 1.9TD, useful economy, and there's a gazzilion of the 1.9TD out there.
Chipping does FA - except put dips and bumps in an otherwise nice curve and it'll likely ruin the economy too. Don't believe the cobblers you'll read on that there internet.

Tim you *******! I have looked at these over the last few months to replace the Focus Hearse that i'm running about in. Would love a conversion so I could get away whenever without worrying about putting a bloody tent up in the rain!

All I want is an everyday van for hauling bikes at the weekend, if and when I sell the pug and if I have to move somewhere else in europe. But it's Pug Gti as tow vehicle or RSV1 for next summer ('Ring support vehicle 1).

Just doing my homework as car + trailer on ferry = $$$$$$$$$$ And van is <=.

I'll kit it out with matress above bike height naturally and solar shower FTWVMFW!

what's ps? is that bhp? And are you looking for speed and space and if your looking for space then is larger better or just to fit a couple of bikes?

Does any search engine like autotrader or roadtransport give you this info?

ps = metric horse power, almost the same but not quite.

All I want room wise is enough space to fit two bikes without need to remove any fairings etc.

As for the websites and search engines it's hard to get a first hand view of vehicles that have completed 100k+ miles, they normally talk about new vans, not ones on their xth owner, hence my cry for real world experience from the .org


Edit: And speed is a luxury that is normally worth paying for.

When you do get one get the side windows put in the rear. It's not that expensive to do and it will let you book it on the ferry as a "camper" rather than a van, which means you won't be paying freight rates.... If you go a bit further and add some some kind of "permanent" living fixture (my mate got away with just a fold down bed screwed to the wall) then you could re-register it as a camper and that will allow you to do 60 on a single carriageway and 70 on a dual.....legally.
