Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Translide, the Bedwas Ford Transit driver's sliding door, can now be fitted in four hours while you wait. The cost is .£576 ex-VAT, and it is the only glassreinforced-plastic door to be covered by a Ford Motor Company letter of non-objection.

The Newport-based company needs 24-hours' notice before the vehicle is delivered to the workshop and the door is supplied in white, although the gelcoat can be colour impregnated for larger orders.

The base vehicle can be drilled on the production line with the holes that are required to fit the sliding door. The process is part of an SVO (Special Vehicle Order) package from the Southampton Transit factory.

Bedwas can manufacture over 80 doors per week, and it is hoping to win sales in the lucrative parcels delivery and public utility markets. Over 1,000 Post Office vans are bought with sliding doors every year.
