I only went with the master as i thought i was getting a good deal and because of the size, suited my needs perfectly.
The main problem i have now is getting rid of a dodgy van without losing much money, and obviously having to spend on replacing it with somthing similar that wont let me down!!
Nightmare.
I`m thinking I might auction it if I can, has anybody done this? How much does it cost? I don`t mean on ebay, a proper car auction.
all you need to find out is,what pressure the old pump ran at to get the correct pump,i don't think too high a pressure matters ,as these pumps have pressure cut offs.
its the sort of pump you have to put on Subaru sti etc when you go above 350 bhp etc.
if you use the same pump wiring the pump will auto prime when ignition is on.
They are also very loud.
I like a 4x4 which is great to drive , and always have a seperate trailer (3/4 sizes), so i can use my cjeeep for private use also.
i try and keep it clean as its good for image and shows you care.!
im Looking at changing from LPG ( ive had for 5 yrs) for a diesel as i will have more room in the back and wont have to go out of my way for lpg stations , although i like the fact that its 'greener'..........
what do you think of a diesel shogun colin? ? as opposed to a petrol frontera 'b' ?
Safety chains are compulsory. The fine for not having an operational one attached are IRO £1,000. I don't think that there are any exceptions these days for braked vehicles. Unbraked are still OK I think but I would check the regs change all the time.
So its going to auction. It was suposed to go today but i`m waiting on a new MOT cert as the one i have says its done starship mileage, after a lot of investigating on my part tracing everytime its been near a garage for anything to make sure the mileage is correct.
So hopfully it will get a half decent price and i will be able to put the money towards a 'Bomb proof' Ford transit.
I` looking at getting a White Transit, T350 mwb, semi high roof, or would go long and high for the right van.
Has anyone had any experience with these perticular vans? Anything to look out for? Anything that i need to check has been done?
Am i right in beeing told they dont have a cambelt, they have a lifetime gurenteed chain?
Any advice is very welcome as i`ve already lost a couple of thousand just at the start of the season.
Cheers Jim
duel mass flywheel is rubbish,they stall sharply if your not used to it and the swarf from the clutch gets into the starter motor and shorts out the electrics(central locking will actuate).
best driving position of any vans,watch out for the large door mirrors,many a glass has succumbed to a hedge or transit approaching from the opposite direction.
white is the best colour for resale but by the same token may cost a bit more.
would not have a sprinter,cabstar or french stuff.
I`ve probably got 6k to spend max. So i`ve been looking at around 04/55 reg with around 60k on clock.
Iam in the prossess of getting a new van. The choice was between the citroen relay lwb or transit lwb all new shape.
My question is what engine size for the tranny would be best and would i be better of with rwd.
Cheers
