Mine is a SWB, It's 5 stud wheels as Luke says, and it's a 115, so 150 must be a LWB. There was no MWB Mk5 :wink:

:? I'm confused. Can it not be 150 swb that started life as a panel van and was converted into minibus at some point in it's life? It does sound like a LWB though, but he can have 6 studs on SWB too, can't he?

That says its a LWB to me, as the SWB has 2 large windows only, to the rear
