Hi Dave,
I've just recently got an Ex SKY caddy maxi 2014, seems to do the job just great, well looked after with FSH.
depends on your budget

Budget will only be about £7000 so probably not enough for you

Re: Newbie!!
You’ll get a decent van for that money mate. I spent that on mine when I first bought it.
Or is that just your modification budget?
Things can get expensive quickly on here!

Re: Newbie!!
I can see it becoming more expensive every time I look at the forum ha!
I like the blue colour of the BG vans so looking at one of those. Look nice with black wheels

Re: Newbie!!
If you haven't bought it yet, search for injector issues. Not trying to put you off mind, I love mine but it seems we have to live with this threat (yes, I know, it can happen to any car, before I get bombed out!). Mate just bought a 2014 1.6tdi ex-fire service. Injector went after one week no real mileage. Second one went another week later. It DOES happen!

Re: Newbie!!
Does anyone know if the injectors problem is the injector fault, or the engine itself ruins them?
Ifbyou change all injectors in a row, most likely you wont have problems related, right?

Re: Newbie!!
The injector fault is related to the insulation breaking down on the unit itself and casing an open circuit, they are not damaged by the engine. You could change all 4 for the newer type, but personally, I think it’s an expensive fix for something that may never break. I’d just change them if they fail.

Re: Newbie!!
It’s your call mate. The newer injectors (part number 03L130277S) are more reliable, but of course, not infallible.
