The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away!

It's been a very profitable couple of months for me and I'm looking at my bank balance feeling smug and out of nowhere on my way to work
my van suddenly sounds like a tractor and massively down on power. Limp it back to my local garage and turns out it would be an engine out, strip down to find problem so not worth it on a 15 year old shed. 40 hours later I've blown a bundle on a new van, tax and insurance bump up. First day I use new van my Fein packs up (1 month out of warranty )
Sometimes feels like you work your arse off and end up no better off!
The joys of being self employed eh?
Rant over

What van did you get

Gone for another vivaro.
Missing the twin side doors I had on my old one In a serious way.
Drives lovely though - didn’t realise just how knackered my old one was until now.

I picked up a 2005 Combo in 2008 for £3600 and I still have it, it was thrashed by the Post Office for 3 years and me for 11.
I want 4 more years out of it but its getting rotten underneath I've been told and needs serious welding.
