Hey all,

I will add some pics. Could be quite interesting to see a UK/Euro small van ecomodded i guess.

Although as i work as a courier my van is very much in need of a wash. When i get 5 mins i will take some.

Not much to see though as the pizza trays are just regular ones and the grill block is standard PVC moulded T piece lengths trimmed to size. Nonetheless, i will add them.

Luckily for me my van has the same front end as a Vauxhall/ Opel Corsa 'C' where there are OEM engine trays available. I purchased one of these for £30 from ebay new and the correx was £7.50 a sheet from a warehouse.

On that note, i got my scangauge secondhand for £30 (used just to clear a fault code!).

My MPG is from one tank and also from averaging two trip average MPG readouts on the scangauge. The point of this is that on each journey I was empty. Having a 150kg load makes it hard to stay above 70MPG on the motorway (freeway).

So if I can save about £15 per 500 miles, and I can do that in a day whilst working I would save a small fortune over the year....
