Bangernomics big van thread
A long time ago, our NW correspondent started a search. Some say a quest............
Looking for a LWB van. I’m open to price and also suggested models. Yes I know NYE but I’m staying in cos loons everywhere. Budget up to £4-5k. Less is better.

Re: Wanted big FO van that has long MOT
Contact catsinthewelder if you are on autoshite. He lives by me and works for a hire van company. They look after their vans really well and sell cheap when done with them.

Crazy thing, actually called someone today about a van, he was sensible. I turned up on time, handed home the cash after taking a good test drive and took it home.

What did you end up buying then? Looking at transits in my price range they are all rotted to oblivion...Bangernomics wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:57 pm Crazy thing, actually called someone today about a van, he was sensible.

Wanted big FO van that has long MOT
I bought a 60 plate Renault master dci125 LWB with a recent clutch, bottom pulley and 130k for £2750. Full MOT minor advisory. No rust whatsoever underneath. Avoid transits like the plague, mk5 were reliable, noisy and rotten. The rest are shite reliability and I have had sprinters and anything beyond 98 is a liability due to EGR as a service item and Black Death leaky injector seals.
Needs some door handles for the side and rear as they wear badly and a mirror cover. Other than missing the flat spare I didn’t get too badly bummed.

Re: Wanted big FO van that has long MOT
Anyone know anything about rebuilding the door handles on these? Just the side and rear are knackered. There’s a trick to opening them but I can see them ending up stuck if I don’t deal with them soon.

Re: Wanted big FO van that has long MOT
Had someone opened them by a screwdriver down the side of the handle in the past?

Re: Wanted big FO van that has long MOT
I think they’re just worn out but no idea it could be that? I’ll ping some pics at the weekend in the light.

Re: Wanted big FO van that has long MOT
Nice, I used to drive the older shape one of those. 120dci. Loloader. It flew, and was amazingly good on fuel. By far the best van I've ever driven.
