With many, many thanks to @doug this beauty arrived bang on time this morning. Having dropped Doug off at the train station the heavens well and truly opened so this is as far as I've got. To be continued...

Yes, lots of info online about it! Thanks for that, I'll investigate that tomorrow. I've just sat down for the evening and I've got the cat on my lap now. So that's me parked for the night.

Very common problem!
Whilst you’re at it, check your clutch pedal for cracking. Another really common problem and if it’s not already had ‘the fix’ it’s well worth doing as preventative maintenance as to not leave you in the shit…

That's great thank you. I will await the V5 from Swansea and check then. For now I will drive slowly and save fuel!

Respectfully I don't think it's as simple as that, there's more than one category that has the car speed limits. My t5 is category M1 and has car limits, it's a 5 seat window van. I would expect this caravelle to also be an M1.

Unless you're towing something then stick to 50 on single carriageway, 60 on dual and 70 on motorways.
Anything that looks like a 'proper' (i.e. not car derived) van is pretty much 50/60/70
Exception is if it's a light motorhome (check the V5 - it's unlikely to be one tho'?) then you can do 60/70/70 (i.e. same as a car).
(and we're all 20/30 in the lower limits in any case)

You're right (I'm wrong) if he's 1+8 seats max then he should come in as an M1 (Light passenger vehicle) so that's just like a car - I've got stuck on the idea that these were like the 109 Safari's for some reason (!) age most likely. @Andy F - ignore my ramblings above if you have M1 in the V5C sec J (see below) then happy days - it's considered a car so 60/60/70

From memory it shat an alternator whilst he was on holiday; hence a huge bill.
It was adored by us and the reverend before. It’s a good one, no doubt.

Thank you so much @doug and @BorniteIdentity.
It's definitely a really good buy, unbelievably tidy and very well cared for. The service history has made for some epic reading this evening, it rivals my Xantia for care and attention received. I will endeavour to keep on top of all maintenance and see how many miles we can get out of it! The French connection would explain parts of the service history being in French. I google translated it and hope to see the words le cam belt but to now avail. But all is clear and I can relax into ownership now.

Ah. I see! Well bought @Andy F
We loved it. I bought it from a very modern vicar who was based in London. He sold because ULEZ.
The miles were accrued because he would take his big family down to the South of France two or three times a year. He spent an absolute fortune on it over the years and I genuinely think it’s the best I’ve seen for sale in two years.

It was all done. I paid cash for the job hence a lack of paperwork. Should the new buyer want to talk to the garage, he’d happily confirm it was done.
Even cash it was £600!

I love mine.
I’m off to look up polytron. I just used gtecniq serum on my very grey bumpers and they came up well.

When I got the van last September the belt and tensioner had just been done. There was no paperwork for it being done but I could see the shiny new tensioner under the plastic cover. @BorniteIdentity might be able to confirm.
