Kiltox Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Carting furniture around, mostly in flat pack form. Some of the stuff I’ve encountered previously is up to 2m long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Does the passenger seat flip down? I don't think any small vans are capable of 2m loads without losing a passenger seat. Kiltox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'm almost a 2m load and I fit in the back of a SEAT Inca with a bulkhead panel removed and a seat folded down, HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon-Fonte Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Phwarrr would anyone (expenses paid OBV) be able to drive this down to Tavistock, Devon? I need a c15 in my life! I'm both near enough to Sheffield and mad enough to do this. Merlin cat, The Moog and mat_the_cat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I bought one off Wilko220 on here when I was sorting out stuff for my sister's house move. It saved a fortune in hire vans, fuel and skips. It had a bulkhead fitted but with the passenger seat slid forward, then reclined to the height of the bulkhead (couldn't work out how to remove the headrest) I fitted a grandfather clock on thathe side, I had to put the bottom of the case up on a box to get it roughly the height of the bulkhead. Don't forget that this one has a roofrack for your extra length. At around 50mpg, compared to less than 20 in the Land Rover, each round trip in the van to my sister was saving about £40 in fuel. When I had no more need for it I passed it on to Holbeck on here and I was pleased to see that it has now passed another MOT with his mate who now has it. Excellent vehicles, I just wish I needed one now as it looks like a nice one Lacquer Peel and Merlin cat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin cat Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 I can get a 3m length of pipe in over the passenger seat when I can't be bothered to put it on the roof rack. Barefoot, this is a Friday end of a busy week throw everything in! That was after I'd taken drills etc out too! barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 ^ that would have been great but Mrs hmc is ill (I haven't told her about this yet so it's not that) but I'm sorting house stuff and kids. Merlin cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin cat Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sold sold sold! I hope you love it as much as I did HMC . I've spent the past few years defending it very loyally in the plumbers merchants, what do they know with their fancy sign written vans?!! Hope Mrs HMC. Feels better soon. Im sure when the van arrives at least it will cheer her up! Maybe fill it with flowers to soften the blow Mrs6C and HMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
