I sold a Double bench seat and fixings for £120. There are lots around, however, I’ve read the air bag needs attention if going from single seat to double.
Perhaps someone can elaborate??

Yes you are correct. If the van had a single seat from factory it will have a narrower air bag. So should be swapped. Depends on how much you like you passengers.
Does seem big money for a 2.5 year old van.
What is your wish list and budget. We have some lovely vans with the right spec coming off fleet in the next 2-3 months. All 1 year old.

If you swap the single chair for a double, there is definitely a difference in the size of the airbag. This is because it has to protect two occupants sitting across a greater width of the van.
If you swap the seat, my strong recommendation is that you do the airbag as well. Seen too many nasty outcomes on the roads, you wouldn’t want that on your conscience, nothing is more important than your nearest and dearest.

I hadn’t thought about the airbag requiring a change when changing the seat. 
That makes my suggestion both more complex and costly!

You also can't change to a double front seat if it has the Comfort Dash.
I've had a bit of a shocker with that piece of advice! I didn't consider the safety implication of the airbag and I also didn't consider the clash/lack of space with the comfort dash centre console!
It would work if you just had a child seat in the middle but mine has the comfort dash so the leg space would be very tight.
Its a shame as the comfort dash makes it a lot more car like inside.
Hi. Looks the part mate but you can pick up cheaper from the main dealers, then get the extra put on later like the tow bar and lining etc.
Try -Used Vans | Birmingham, Liverpool, Preston & Wrexham | Swansway Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles you might get a good deal this time of year.

To add in to your decision making, consider if you need a T32 or can get away with a T30 - The T30 Kombi is normal speed limits, the T32 Kombi is van limits and a class VII MOT...
Many thanks - that’s quite a major factor & one I had heard about but not fully understood. Good to know the distinction !
Have PM,d you - cheers
I have a T30 Kombi and as far as I am aware I am subject to the lower speed limits
The T32 KOMBI is a class 4 MOT, because it goes through as a “dual purpose vehicle” regardless of its maximum payload. I have had two MOT’s with my T32 Kombi, both at class 4. The T32 Panel Van goes through as a class 7.
The point about speed limits is correct though; 50/60/70.
Class 4 MOT doesn't mean that its the car speed limits though?
