new Company Car (well nearly)... Custom...
Discussion
70k now. Well passed the mileage cap of 60K with 1 year 1 month to go. There is going to be some charge to pay!
Still not put a foot wrong. Am going to have to buy new wiper blades. First money spent other on service/tyres.
It's comfier than our Merc. Am now also campaigning for it's replacement which may not be a van.

Cracking vans.
We've had a couple at work.
Our current custom is on a 68 plate and 157k on it, it's only had discs, pads the usual wear and tear items, still on the same clutch.
Our 64 plate we sold at 3 years old with 227k on it, it's now on 297k and it's had an EGR valve, clutch and the usual wear and tear items.
I'm impressed that with the miles there is little bolster wear, steering wheel wear and it stills feels as tight as it should.
It's all main dealer servicing aswell.

That's good news, and quite some mileage in the time you've had it.
I was contemplating getting a custom van to chuck my bikes in the back of... Still pondering.
Slightly off topic, but a van was the best thing I got for moving bikes about. Fuel usage doesn't change with the number of bikes, don't have the fear of why is my bike wobbling, it's easy to get muddy bikes in/out without covering seats/boot in crap and if it's grim a dry place to change. Plus I have got a T5 so can take everyone, their kit and bikes in relative comfort.I was contemplating getting a custom van to chuck my bikes in the back of... Still pondering.
That's it gone.... Slight cock up on its replacement which is late. Can manage without this week. Next week might be an issue!
I'll miss it.

The van did its job well for the 3 years to the day that I had it. No faults, decent to drive, but did on occasion get stuck, and the auto box revved too high on the motorway.
A change of strategy was required.
It’s replacement was late - very late and the dealer loaned me something to keep me mobile
They sold that, fortunately mine arrived in the Nick of time. I’ll start a new thread in the next few days..
