No. Only cab with 2 single seats. The panel will also be removed, so that I can access the van from the back with my wheelchair. I'll post some pics when the van is done.

Nice that.
The chrome blue is the best colour I've seen so far on the sport. Although there is a defused silver one on you tube somewhere that looks pretty tasty...

Collected mine on Friday from Stoneacre York and can recommend them. I dealt with Kevin.
It was absolutely pouring down so everything was explained to me in a van in the showroom. The drive back to Huddersfield was without incident but she was filthy.
First thoughts - it's a lovely place to be for the journey. I thought the removal of the lid above binacle was a backward step but now I've got it I don't think it is too bad. The sync 3 is far superior to the old system but the steering wheel controls are a little fiddly compared to old model. There is now a huge blind spot in the front screen to cater for auto sensors. If it was a sticker of that size it would fail an MOT. The door handles are a vast improvement and should prevent the door being snatched in high winds. I did find the new seat fabric to be a bit slippy but I'll see now I've got covers fitted.
Externally, the direction lamps are now in the fog lamps, there is lever in the cab for bonnet release and the pimple on the roof above driver is for wifi. Still got an external arial which is a pain when using the roof bars. It's a shame the rear lights aren't LED and the top section of the cluster would benefit from some sidelight illumination. The side loading door is now a lot tidier and the mechanism doesn't spoil the appearance of the van.

Here is mine.
Was back at the dealership Tuesday to Friday.
They where checking over the cooling system after the breakdown incident on Monday.
Thought I would share some photos after I gave it a clean Sunday morning.
I'm loving the android auto on the sync 3.
Using waze as my sat nav is great.
Not having to be tied into the manufactures sat nav is great.

I don't have hids.
As these where an option on the facelift custom.
Direction indicators are in the main headlamp assembly.
Direction lamps/cornering lights are the fog lights illuminating.
This was the same on the no 1 custom.?

Indicators are in headlight unit but cornering lights in non hid headlights are in fog lights while in hid headlights are built in headlight unit.On previous custom cornering lights are buit in headlight unit ,but cornering lights (direction light) and direction indicators are two different thing.

500 miles in and all good. Showing 35mpg on the dash and loving the sync3. Voice commands for navigation are a real bonus.
