But there's a lot better selection in the van section it seems. Maybe because its festival season.
The FWD aren't terrible or anything, but the RWD are heavier duty.
If you find a good one don't pass it up simply on account of that.
FWD ones are more compact too.
The fit in an urban parking space if that's where you plan on being.
>>1038261That generation LDV come with the 2.5 DI engine from the older Transit. Sometimes known as "the banana engine".
Easily the best engine ever put in a van bar the Mercedes ones.
Never met one that didn't start on half a turn, even in the cold. And run forever.
Extremely noisy though. You'll hear it run from 18 houses down with the TV on.
That rust isn't new and won't pass MOT.
Title says it has so maybe it's an older picture. It will need welding in that condition.
You also lose the stealth of a panel van because it's obviously a camper.
Otherwise its a decent option. Get him down to £1,200.
Any van that's off the road without MOT isn't worth the risk of paying more than £600 for.
Spares aren't that expensive, but the labor cost really tacks up.
