I have a broken back in which surgery made it worse. I now struggle to get in and out of my white VW Caddy MKII seat as it's rather too low, so I'm reluctantly having to sell it. I have been looking at getting a Rav4 (MKI/II) or a Nissan X-Trail or something similar.

In essence I need a small 4x4 as they seem to have an elevated seat position which I need so I don't have to struggle in pain getting in and out.

My budget will only be what I'll get for the van (estimated at ?2500) very low millage 44k on a 51 plate, it's never been used for commercial use, I have kitted the back out i.e. ply lined and fully insulated using recycled plastic insulation, the ply lining has been covered in grey carpet lining. I've made a telescopic storage/bed in which when extending an inflatable single airbed comfortably rests upon it with the driver's seat inclined forward. I use to use it for mountain bike trips around the country and even to south of France. It's in immaculate condition. I put a lot of work into it, hence the reluctance to sell it, but realistically it has to go if I'm to enjoy driving again painlessly.


Anyway getting to the crux of the matter, I was wondering if anyone local had a Toyata Rav 4, Nissan X-Trail or similar SUV not so I can buy it, really only that you could be so kind as to let me see it and try its seating position, just so that it gives me options of what to look out for on Autotrader and Ebay etc etc.


I did say it was an unusual request, but I know how friendly and neighbourly us Dulwichites are. If you are one of them please PM and let me know.


Thank you all for listening to my plea, and if anyone else has any other nice and sensible suggestions, please feel free to contact me.


Kind Regards

James

    • They're obviously not competent to witness the documents in the OP's case.  The list of required qualifications looks me similar to the Land Registry's requirement connected with a TR1. Vladi, from my own experience I'd not rely on email inquiries of potentials.   The response I got an email to the solicitors in Melbourne Grove was from another of their branches and was inconsequential.  From William Bailey, addressed to reception and saying I could drop in at very short notice, I'm afraid I got no response  at all, even after also mentioning that  I'd be looking for assistance with a will in the near future and expected to be asking them.  From an online search i did note quite a few in the Camberwell area.  In the end though I was able to rely on an online verification, arranged by one of the other parties.
    • Hard to get evidence for what has happened, but going forward, get cctv evidence of trespass and any interference, ask you other neighbours to as well. Contact solicitor and report to police and council. get more plants to replace those destroyed
    • Thank you, finding out they'd done the same to three of my neighbor’s trees made it a bit easier to accept — it wasn’t just me they were targeting; they’re just toxic people in general.
    • I have no advice for you, but I'm sorry you're going through this. It's highly distressing and I just can't fathom why some people are so horrible.
