Hi, i,v got a fiat ducato based van , cumming back from Portugal at the end of January this year in sub zero temperatures the draft cumming in from under the cab doors was so bad that the cab heater could,nt cope, ended up stuffing sleeping bags down the door wells any one out there got any good ideas for stopping the drafts apart from welding up the cab doors, some one told me that you can get double thickness door rubbers borerider ------------- happy traverling, bob

well i would say you should change the door seals that,s a pretty easy task.
Then i would adjust the doors on the hinges and the lock sets.
This in effect will take the door closer to the frame of the cab giving you a better seal.
Hope this is of help it worked on my peugeot boxer.
------------- you may be frustrated now but infront of me there is a big incline . yeh it may be slow but it is in front

Delboy is correct. Not sure how old your van is but if is still under warrenty take it back and have the doors rehung, very common fault on the ducato.
