G'day Folks,

So I'm looking at buying a Van for work / play purposes - for work I print shirts & other things, no real heavy items to cart around just bulky that's the main reason I want a van

For play I kayak fish - my kayak lives on it's own small trailer which weighs 300kg all up, so a T4 should be able to tow that easy right?

I've had a little mechanical experience with Holdens over the years (I know I know, bogan cars) but looking at what's on the market is confusing me to no end, the more I look the more I get confused!

My only requirements (so far) are;

- Under $10k (lower the better)
- Not keen on anything with massive k's
- Manual (I've had enough Auto boxes crap themselves over the years so I'd like to avoid putting the Auto Trans guys kids through school, again!)
- Prefer 2nd row of seats but I understand it's not hard to find aftermarket seats?

Things I'm not sure about;

- Petrol or diesel? What's the diff?
- SWB or LWB? More room can't help right????

Is there anything I should be wary of? anything that would turn you off buying? Any suggestions folks?

Does anyone in West Sydney own one that I could come have a look/perve at?

Cheers,
Dave.
