    We bought a 2 year old van from lowdhams when we got it home we found it was full of damp and lowdhams said they had done a full habitation check before they sold it but they clearly hadn’t, they had our van back with them for the repairs for over 6 weeks

    Those of us with recent panel van conversions (and even more so with coach built) know that build quality (in the kindest possible terms) is "patchy" and that can apply to the service from dealers. Your problems seem to have been with the Ducato platform (same as ours) and if you get an OK one they seem mostly bullet proof (though changing the cambelt every five years is a pain (ours is next year)). But like you I am happy with what we have got (Adria Twin).
    Are you aware there is an issue with 160bhp and above with the 9 speed auto? Not a recall but a visit to Fiat Professional is required. From Summer 21 I think?

      Hi, do you know what the issue is please? We were going to chip ours up from the sluggish 140 bhp" up to the 180-190 bhp, but do not want any auto ZF issues arising.
      Assumed these were fine for 180 bhp.

    We got a van and took it to fiat as the air con wast working £768 for a pipe that was leaking from the valve never worked from new with 3000 miles on the van and four months out of warranty

    Van looks great without the graphics. I looked into taking ours off (Wife wasn't a fan of doing that!) We've the Brownhill's CV40 and I checked with how much it would cost if I wanted to put them back on - £997! And that's if you can get them... I left them.

      Hi mate I didn’t tell her! We had discussed it but broken down in the driveway I just started peeling the front ones and then I just carried on. But as a signmaker you could get them re printed for about £300 and fit them yourself of which I could do. As said I’ve left the text on and elldis logo so it’s just the colour sway etc, we love the black look the van stands out hope your enjoying yours? Have you made a permanent bed ? I felt uncomfortable on the make up cushions but do miss the walking space of the back now it a bed. Thank you 🙏 hope you’ve subscribed see you nx Sunday @5pm

    When we purchased our Swift Voyager, we drove it home (just 60 miles) the engine management light came on (the same sort of 'do not drive' fault). We had to take it to a Ford garage and despite giving them the OBD fault code one week prior, they did the same check and then said there was no vehicle part in the wider area. All told it was away for a fortnight. Turned out to be a sensor in the exhaust system needed replacing.
