Has anyone recently bought a T4 after years of a T25?

Had one for 8 years or so, great vans.
Well, great vans if you buy a 2.5tdi, the rest are mediocre.

I have both at present but bought the T4 after selling an earlier T25 we owned. The T4 does everything I want. It's the 1.9 TD later model, cruises all day at 70. Yes it takes hills just fine! It's not going to win any races but that's not really why I'm interested in vans. It's been faultless, reliable and cheap to run. BUT it's a success of head over heart. It doesn't stir me and nor do I feel the love in the way I do for our 25.

Had a T4 for a while too. Having the engine up front and a RnR bed on rails makes it the better load carrier. Not as much fun as the Syncro though.

Dont buy a 1993 model, They seem to of forgotten about rustproofing that year. Particularly the light blue metalic colour.
You think T3s are complicated to weld? I started with a hole at the bottom of the inner B pillar to weld for the MOT and it just keeps going!!
