I've sold up

I'll just keep quite

 

Could you not just mend the Handbrake

 

Been looking at exactly the same since selling mine last week. Overcab bed and a toilet/shower are a must now. Trouble is she's not keen on new shapes, not that she was keen on the bay either.

 

I've been looking at those, but she hates them as well.

 

I agree with impracticable nature of a tin top for family camping tho. That’s why I bought the stupid T25 - and look where that got me

I found this for you

Theres another at the bottom of that listing for £8.5k just up the road in Tring, outside looks tatty though. I haven't got the nerve to bring another project home on the drive.

 

did you not get on with T25s??

 

Not this one! We’ve had a couple and I’ve really liked them but this one has had a problem since purchase day and is making me rage!!

 

Witch, burn him

T4/5's just seem so expensive for what they are though. I've been after a van recently and looked at VW but decided against due to cost, there were loads around the £7/8K mark but they were all 200k miles, 2002 - 2004 and very basic vehicles. I ended up with a Vivaro, 64 plate, FSH, 130K miles, air con, electric windows, bluetooth etc, virtually unmarked inside and out for £5400. I've had side and rear windows fitted for £600 and it's great. It drives like a car and gives me mid 40's to the gallon. If I could just persuade my daughter to let me get rid of the Bay..................

 

Has he gone yet ?

 

I’m keeping my bay for now and find it very practical. Had it 16 years and done the kids, awning, loads of carp thing. Just me and the Mrs now so literally pull up, handbrake on and drinks out. Love it.

 

^^^^^hower I do wonder about the future when I can’t be bothered to tinker on . I’ve started a new job last year working on all kinds of different vans. It seems to me that Mercedes’ and vw are over rated. The Peugeot boxer or Renault master appear to be very good.

 

I worked on vivaro for nearly 20 years. They don’t rust

 

I was pleased to hear that having to go for nothing newer than a 2009 Merc,
(Viano, Taxi version of the Vito) because of the strict budget, worked in our favour ... Earlier ones were rust prone, later ones not so well built any more.
Seems there's a sweet spot for all marques?

 

It'll be a nice price as well

 

Special price just for you my friend, it is a karmann Colorado though

What's wrong with it?

 

That'll be nice but a bit too nice for me even with a special price ​
