Want a type 4 but put off by experts?

clearly it should be cheaper and easier to change a type 1 to a type 4 as opposed to a Subaru. although in part depends on the spec of the Type 4 engine. Of course there is then the discussion of what cost means as its not necessarily a financial calculation.

 

Be good to see a proper break down in cost, rebuilt type 4 vs Scooby.

Based on mileage etc. What do the Scooby engines get to the gallon in a bus vs type 4?

Cost of buying, rebuilding etc.

So not a cost to just do it but a cost to do it and do several thousand miles.

Gets complicated I guess as some service their own, some dont know what end the engine is

 

i think if you do a full rebuild on a type 4 with powder coating tins and all the other shiny stuff, then it is comparable in costs to doing a scooby swap.

 

Where you going Dave

Not telling anyone what they should do ..where did i actually say that .Come on Doug you know i am impressed with your bus .

 

This ones pretending its in a bus

 

doing all of mine was less than having just an engine done by fellows. and people have easily spent 4k on a type 4 so its getting there!!

 

@Razzyh spent shed loads on his Type 4

for me the cost includes not having to worry

 

Thats the problem, mine probably cost £700 and is fine, there is no comparison, some can do it themselves others cant.

 

Thanks! Phew!

 

your just a lucky chap ... any chance of the lottery numbers ... some can but just haven't the time or desire. since I have had mine converted to s****u I've used it loads more for what I bought it for ... and camping in it next weekend as well to me that's preferable to spending time underneath the thing.

 

I fell into my own trap if thats what i asked. I meant is a type 4 install from scratch as costly as a subaru install for your average punter whos blown his type 1!

 

£5k

The only thing I had to search for was my credit card.

 

Some don't want to

 

NO

 

Point taken! Drive in drive out would be my preferred option.

 

Ta!

Is 5k the current cost? @Moons

 

I thought you already had type 4 engine in yours?
