    Van Speed Limit?

    I was just looking in to changing my V5, it seemed simple enough and I thought better to pre-empt automatically-issued tickets rather than have to deal with them in the future. Unfortunately though, there is no unladen weight listed, only the mass in service (which is correct - 2120); and even...

    Van Speed Limit?

    Sorry to hear that. Have you got anything to show unladen weight being below 2040, Alan? The law definitely talks about unladen weight, the log book refers to mass in service, and the definitions are different.

    Van Speed Limit?

    Picked up my van on Wednesday and took it straight to the weighbridge in Romford. The V5 lists the mass in service as 2120 and the weighbridge, with an empty van having done 10-20 miles since low fuel warning, came in at 2 tonnes on the button. Spec is Transporter T6 102PS TDi BMT Euro 6 T32...

    Reclaiming VAT on a T32 kombi .

    That's correct. Charge mileage and claim nothing now, ie nothing against initial purchase cost if vehicle, including VAT element.

    Seat width

    Could anyone with a dual front passenger seat and a tape measure be able to do me a favour please? Could you kindly measure edge to edge of the dual passenger seat section only, and also the full width of space the seat takes up, i.e. From passenger door inside edge to left hand extreme of...

    Reclaiming VAT on a T32 kombi .

    As I understand it, there are variations depending on whether you are a sole trader or working through a limited company. And all this is assuming that your vehicle qualifies as a commercial vehicle: Sole trader can claim back a proportion of the VAT, just like you can reduce your income by a...

    Van Speed Limit?

    Spoke to the dealer last week, he said VW have very recently stopped producing T30s with a front dual passenger seat for UK market, as HMRC were getting a bit upset with the fact that this puts the payload under a tonne but they were still being classed as goods vehicles. So as I definitely want...

    Van Speed Limit?

    This is a great thread, thanks to the hive mind, has answered a lot of questions. As I understand it the HMRC has different requirements meaning there is a "best of both worlds" possible, with the 1 tonne plus payload that they are interested in and the sub 2040KG weight for the full speed...

    Safety of automatic latching side doors

    Thanks everyone. Just been paying attention to what I do when I park and currently its all with the side mirrors and seems to work fine, plus I've got a window at the back. But I think you're probably right. Just trying to keep costs down.

    Commercial vehicle/ dual-purpose vehicle/ T30/ T32 benefits help please!

    Hello all. In a bit of a black hole of confusion, if anyone has even little slithers of light or shimmerings of opinion it would be appreciated. I'm buying a short wheelbase Kombi, for work but also for use as the family car. I've worked out that it's not worth buying it through (my own)...

    Safety of automatic latching side doors

    Having read some of the recommended options from various contributors on this site, I'm thinking of adding a these (automatic latching sliding doors) to my order, saving the money by not getting the reversing camera that I don't think I'll really use much. I've had a few problems with the...

    Black. It's a bit of a camera crew cliche, but there you go.

    Dust Seal option?

    Simple question (hopefully): What is the £30 "Additional dust seal outside" available as an option?

    Welcome new members

    Hello all. I've been driving a very late edition T4 caravelle for about 8 years, was my dream motor after driving other people's around as a camera assistant so when I started shooting myself thought it was time to make dream a reality! Never really liked the T5s for some reason but have just...

    Help with spec?

    Hello Matt. Regarding your point 6 - the additional storage with the dual passenger seat. I asked my dealer about this yesterday, he said he doesn't sell many of them and doesn't rate them himself. The cup holder element doesn't really hold very well and the additional storage it provides is...
