For 4k?

[justalex81]

well all this talk of backache is making me feel old 

i'm 6ft 2" and 22 stone of brick sh1thouse. The peugeot expert has such a crap driving position that it causes me to slouch and put excess stress on my lower back. This has caused me to not train for a month and this makes me unhappy. Admittedly when i sat in the connect the other day it wasn't for long but it felt a lot more comfortable than my peugeot. So what do i do?!!! you lot are saying they're not comfortable but what are the alternatives?

True!

How big are they compared to the Caddy?

Vito's are alright. Had one in today actually. When it was brand new had an issue with the electric window but hey ho nothings perfect, been completely fault free for 6 years and 50K miles though and he's selling it. 

Plus he's local and has a fresh 12months.

i had a connect at work it was slow and the seat position is shocking gave me so much back pain i told them i wasnt going to drive it anymore so they gave me a combo instead  you say that you need a big van to get 3m lengths of pipe in can you not just get a roofrack and get some 4inch pipe and make a box on the roof thats what i few folk i know do one guy i know uses a defender 90 ffs and he manages just fine

I have a Vito at work. Stupid foot-operated parking brake.

this is all well and good but a pikey has recently moved into the sh1t flats next door. He's a scrap man (shocker!) and i don't want him knowing what i do or that there maybe something of value in my van.
