Welcome, make sure you get a van as old as that well serviced before you head to Spain. Until December past we had a 1993 Compass which was in good nick. Trouble was that it was a problem getting things fixed. Even the waste pipe system used a different sized pipe than is currently used, which meant we constantly dripped water as the closest I could get was 1mm bigger than was was needed.

I can see your point william, however the couple I bought it off have kept it really in excellent condition.My feeling is ive been really lucky going to get it serviced now and fitted a alko 3004.I shall take good care of the old girl and someday someone else will have a bargain.
