The van has always been maintained well with any necessary work done right away. It has been serviced by Brownings of Islington and then Independent VW of Hedge End. Everything works as it should in both the van and the living compartment.The T5 has been absolutely brilliant. (In some respects it is better than the T6.1 that replaces it!)
