- In today's video, we take a look around a little Combo van that I bought at BCA Blackbushe recently. It was graded as 5, as bad as it gets before they decide they won't grade it at all! Surely it can't be that bad?!
I've got plans for this van, and our vehicle transporter, so stay tuned!

Love the enterprise and investment in young ppl. Brilliant
Lee keep the van for your wife for the farm it would be very useful to put some piles of straw or hay or some tools for the farm staff
think ur idea helping the lads out is bloody admirable mate!! u helping them will help you ten fold i am sure !! massive respect for your support of staff members!!
Thanks Alun!
Love the idea for the lads...Opportunity for themselves to prove it can be done and great business for Berrow Motors...Nice to see a business looking after not only itself but its employees...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What an amazing boss you are giving people a helping hand to get started and supported in business. Brilliant.
Hi Joe, this video just popped up randomly. Enjoyed it. I can remember also watching a later video where you were considering getting shot of the van as it hadn't really worked out for Jordan. Shame, you were so obviously keen for the lads to make a go of it with your considerable help. Josh seems to be doing well. Chirpy, intelligent, hard working young lad. Wish him the best.
By the bye, I noticed your Napoleon 'quiff'. Need your stance to be inclusive of right hand clasping left t*t. Anyway, all the best. You probably won't see this comment which will mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
I love driving vans like this, something about the freedom on running about picking stuff up not having to worry about devaluing it etc. Great buy. Loving the plans, he'll of a leg up you are giving these guys and this is what gives you a long term loyal team. I'll start checking you for transport quotes on upcountry stuff
Cheers bud, I’ll sure Josh will be well keen to do some trips for you!
Good luck. Those ideas sounds great. Looking forward to seeing it all progress.
Another good video. Admirable plans too. Looking forward to following your plans.
Excellent!
Fair play to you.
A business is nothing without investment in people.
Great idea mate, looking forward to plenty more content
Originally, the feed to the radio was either permanent (you could listen without needing the key) or switched through the ign.
These days, IMO, it works both ways, with or without the key. If you switch on the radio with they key out of the ign, you need to turn it off again. But if you turn the radio on with the ign on, it should go off when the key is removed. Not heard of that issue before.
Wonderful to give hard working youngsters a leg up good on you Joe👍
Thanks 👍
Great stuff mate. Lovely to see you giving the lads an opportunity.
Hi joe Nice little combo van.josh is doing a great job on the Honda crv
Superb allowing young people to get their foot on the new business ladder fantastic buddy you’re the man and keeping there eye on getting more work for themselves 👌🚙😊👍🏻
Thanks 👍
love these combo vans,hired one once and it went like a rocket! think can get a 1.7 version but the fiat 1.3 is more common!
Hi Joe,what a great idea to turn it into a valeting van, everyone wants a clean car and will be good for the business.
She’s a little score man. I had a red ex post van corsa combo. Had the Isuzu engine in it. Went and went and kept on going until I bounced it fully loaded off a speed bump. Yeah she was done. It’s a perfect van for a valeter that one mate
That’s a smart van and really not a big one to sort! Parrots are awful - I had one in my V50 and hated it, swap for a simple aftermarket Sony with Bluetooth and ditch it. Great video fella
2 cars at once is great but make sure he knows the weight as the dvsa are hot on that with car transport
More Bash please!
I recommend you look out for a Transit Courier. Fantastic to drive for a van. I have use of a 67 plate Sport.
Cracking video Joe, I just love the way you work with your TEAM. Investing in Jordan and Josh is brilliant the young guns will be great and like with any business without good people you haven't got a business. Look forward to seeing the updates as the lads build the business well done.
Thanks Julien
Building a nice empire by the looks and fair dues to giving the young guys a leg up in the world. Good luck to all. 🤞👍
Thanks T wiz!
I have the same van with a 1.6 diesel engine with the same radio that stops on after key turned off and it stays on until you press the button but will turn it self off after a few minutes 👍
Ah ok, I thought it might be something like that! 👍
our company had lots of these . timing chain snapping and killing engine around 100k is a real thing . check for rattles from cold . i was driving down m5 at 70 when mine went . i swapped out the radio as it was crap
Amazing opportunities your giving the lads there I am in the process of looking for a recovery vehicle to put my lad in as a partnership
Id definitely buy a car from this guy. Seems very honest.
Thanks Battenhal!
I think if you take key out open and shut drivers door the radio turns off 🤷
Beautiful hoping it works should ❤ Richard Franki dog
👍😄
The 1.3 is an awful engine. They did them in a 1.7 which was the go to engine. But your idea is very enterprising & I wish there were more business owners like you
Thanks Steve, the Vauxhall 1.7 lump is pretty pokey too!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚘
