Just joined up and have been having a good read through all the techie bits... a non owner at present but in 10 days time have 1500Kg of caravan to collect :? Not sure the 12 year old Mondeo will cope :oops:
Looking at the moment for either a T2 or a Maverick, LWB 2.7 TDi preferably with working Aircon :roll: Budget of £1500... From what I have read on the forums the LWB TDi should be a fantastic towcar and reasonably economical too... Have looked at 3 in the last 3 days and covered 400 miles in the process and not found 1 yet that would pull the skin off a decent rice pud! Certainly nothing that would give the rear tyres a tough time in the wet... which sounds rather fun being an old bloke who learnt to drive with RWD and went rallying in a Lada in the 80's :lol: Why cant anybody be honest when selling?? An 'immaculate' interior to me doesnt include oil all over the seats and 'mechanically excellent' cars ought to at least start when the key is turned!?!
Oh well will just have to keep looking... 10 days and counting down.... Anybody got a decent example to sell let me know... Not expecting showroom condition but solid and reliable would be good 8)
Cheers all
Chris
