Haven't posted on hear for years. Good to see you all again. A quick update: I sold my 2007 T5 conversion with 150,000 miles on the clock in 2018 and swapped it for a LWB petrol 2.0 twin turbo and had the conversion done by Vanworx (they did a great job). So glad I got the petrol. It is thirsty, but such a nice drive. The thinking around swapping in 2018 was this one will see me through to when there is a decent electric or hybrid version available.
That may be a long wait. Van was in for a service at Sytner Llandudno yesterday and the Commercial Vehicle sales guy said he understood that VW are not making a hybrid but the next one will be all electric with a range of 80 miles at new. 80 miles!!!!! My standard round trip (London to North Wales) is 300 miles. With a heavy foot and a bit of luggage that's 4 recharges (when new) and probably 5-6 when it's a few years old. Jokers.
