Re: Sad new ....

 Hello marcus, which 290 are you referring to,  the Green ex- auto technic ?

I already have a 290 Van as well as the Land Rover and would have liked to have moved on to a Professional but sadly cant afford to.

I find my new Land rover uncomfortable, and  has the turning circle of a battleship, but they are cheap comparatively. For those who run trucks on their business they will also appreciate the advantages of the Land Rover  Utility model,  in that I can claim my Vat back as well as take advantages of the tax allowances associated with  commercial vehicles.

Re: Sad new ....

I'm sure its not the first LR Howard has had, he will be well aware of the optional leaks that are added free with every service. And he has always wanted some thing to match his wellies .

Re: Sad new ....

 You could have done that with a Ford Ranger, Howard, and been comfortable into the bargain. BTW, I hope you're not selling that old van of mine. I kinda assumed it was set for life, living in comfort and good company for the rest of its natural......
