View Full Version : Another Truck

Hi all, looking for another truck to replce my wifes that was written off. What a difficult task! Keep seeing the, but look at the mot history and you see the tin worm is doing it's worst. I'm starting to suspect that I may have to look for another brand:eek:
I'm happy with a 2.7 but would prefer a 3.0. Would rather have a manual than an automatic. Would prefer a 5 LWB but would consider a SWB or Commercial. As we will hopefully be keeping it for a few years 120,000 miles is my ceiling. Lastly prefer the plastic mouldings on bottom half of the body too as in my wifes words they look naked without.
So if anyone hears of one not too far away from Yorkshire let me know please.
They are out there Jim as Banshee proved with the one he got for his grandad.
It's just a pain when every one you look at seems to be a ratter.

Such a shame, any further with a reason why.
Jim,
This popped up on an alert, probably a no as sure better out there but seems a honest enough advert and a few new parts so here is the link anyway.

He's a very difficult bloke!!! Ask my nan.
He seems to be very regimented and doesn't like change much, if I hadn't have given him a reality check as to how bad a state his BMW was in I think he'd still be driving it now.
He's quite content driving my Nans little Chevrolet Matiz to and from work at the minute which is no more than 2 miles a day.
Some of you will wonder why on earth I got him a 3.0 Terrano for such a small commute but it was his idea to get a 4x4 due to having issues getting his BMW up the 17% gradient hill in his street in extreme weather.
I have a suspicion that it will be up for sale before the summer but its all depending on what ny nan does next.
She's waiting to see if the DVLA give her driving license back and since her operation, she's lost the sensation in her left leg so is now tempted to get an Auto, if she does the Matiz will be up for sale and Grandad will be forced to use his Terrano, if she doesn't get her license back then by default my Grandad will probably keep the Matiz and the Terrano's future will be a sad one

Banshee, I'm sure if it comes to it you could find a caring home for his truck on here. Mind you if it does come to it then give me the heads up:thumbs

No problems I am not in a hurry to sell as I no it's a good one
Haven't got around to advertising it yet
I could drive it to Carlisle to cut a few miles of the distance if anyone is interested

Yep, I agree.
A friend has a nice black 2005 one. I would consider one myself and they have nice range of pricing so you should be able to something to suit most pockets. Some even come with Terrano style fake wood on the dash so you don't even have to compromise on interior styling either :)
Not sure if any come with 7 seats though.

They're very nice, but...
...have a habit of blowing head gaskets in a short space of time, like, 30k - 50k miles. When they do it warps the head, wrecks the engine.
We live a mile from a Mitsi dealer in North Oxfordshire, the 2.5 engine is notorious for the head gasket problem.
Buyer beware !!!
:eek:

Head gaskets and crank pulleys

you still looking for a t2.
i am looking at an auto from someone on here and am sending out feelers to see if anyone could be interested in my green t2.much done very reliable replacement ip from jim fitted and it sorted it out but not got around to fit the new fibreglass wings and new bumper i have for it.i did my blue t2 instead.bumper painted in car silver already.green paint can be supplied as have it.
the replacement auto needs wings but the ones i have wont fit as its got the indercaters in front wing not on bumper.
any way its a 2.7 1999 under 120000 green over silver sills done front cross can be done when fitting the wings.any thing its needed done moted still using daily.
plenty of posts on here about the trouble i inherited with it but since i did it its my main tower for van.i would get and go anywhere as have done last 3 years.
deal to be had.

I put a link up to that on at the beginning of March. It caught my eye as well and looks to be a nice truck on paper. Wonder why it did not sell first time round, thought it would of been snapped up by now.

Well guys just waiting for a cheque to clear and then I'll start seriously looking. Have had my eye on that too but the problem is that Milton Keynes is a long way for us to travel really, certainly wouldn't want to be going down and paying a deposit and having to go down again for second time to collect it. Nice looking truck though isn't it.
Wow!!! Someone's either going to get a bargain or a dog there!!!!!!

You know... I don't know what it is, but there is something in the back of my mind says this might be an ex Police vehicle.
They have tried to disguise the blue light by spraying it grey, but you can still tell lol... :lol
