Guy, I'm sorry mate :!: :(

I'm sure you can fix it if you wanted to :!: :D You have the skills to do it and keep the only MK5 twin side loader that seems to be on here and at shows/meets :?:

So what are you after :?:
You've mentioned MK6 Tourneo :shock: :shock:

Then a MK5 and transfer bits :!: So which is it :?: So we can look out for the right van for you :D :D

Turbo this time :?: (EPIC :lol: )

Manual transmission for you, of course :!: :wink: So should be able to find one quite easily :!: :D :D
Long or short :?: Medium or High :?:

How about a LongCube Turbo with Air Con 8) :?: :shock: :lol:

Or a twin side loader lwb :?: (not sure it is a 115PS though :roll: :roll: :lol: )

Something a little different with a Cossie in it already :?:

Can't see you finding a Mk6 with aircon, twin side loaders, heated screen, electric mirrors and TDCi for that money!

I may have to comprimise on the engine, Twin SLD would also just be a bonus but only on a bigger van

AC is a must thou

My Mk 6 has air con and in all honesty I find that opening the windows cools it better.

The vents dont seem to cover the driver that well, BTW it has been regularly ree gassed and does function!

TBH elec windows are for me farr more important.

I may think about an ex RAC on a 51/02 plate for now, and then add options to it :?

TBH i could possibly do with out the AC. Also im keen on keeping RWD

My Mk6 has aircon and it's spot on. Temp comes down pretty quickly and you end up feeling quite cold if you leave it on too long.
