When you get the new engine in the bay, take it for a long trip to see what you think, before selling it

 

because they had to drill out the old knackered bolt that had sheared off and tap it. Charged for 2 hours of labour. Still cheaper and quicker than the bloke with the Corsa with dodgy wipers!

 

I understand the posts that say this is a late bay forum and maybe the modern mentions do annoy some but if you actually look at the majority of "big" posters or mods/admin many either don't own or don't use a bay now, still doesn't mean they're not enjoyed, even sometimes envied from afar, as I said once, came for the bay, stayed for the mates.

 

i came to sell an engine, i stayed for the help, the banter and the playful arguing!

 

Exactly. It'd be a dull place if it was only about the bay.

 

I luv 'em all....

 

Some of us previous owners still like to pass knowledge on as well, for me I suppose because I have a 5 when a post is started about them it obviously interests me more 'cos it's a current topic, I still read and partake in bay parts too and am quite happy to muck in at t/e etc, this place is more a community of mates past and present who share an interest in bays but it's not bay specific anymore in my eyes.

 

People come here because of the bay but stay as it's got good and bad with all the different people if I don't like something I don't read it but that's 1in 100 ...it's good banter on here and always someone to help or be helped

 

Yes you are right mr Roo
And we may all have to give up
One day
Mot changes etc

There are a fair amount of ordinary motorists that hate us even being on the roads
I've been sworn at more than once
Because 55 is not fast enough
Anyway seeing this is a T5 thread
Which is better Then T5 or a Transit?

 

If you want more for your money, transit every time.

 

That's why I have a bay

I would like a T5 rather than a Transit or equivalent

 

Isn't that the same across the whole VW range - want more for your money go Ford.

 

The new transit is bloody nice looking

 

Thats because it looks like a t5

 

Careful now you don't want to start a craze

 

And half the cost

 

We had the JCB man here
The other day and he said his new transit was awesome

 

Or there's the Renault Trafic /Vauxhall Vivaro conversions, not as pleasing on the eye as the T5/6 or Transit maybe, but an alternative worth exploring if you want to go "modern" . We had a look at this one at the NEC, very nice it was too
