Hi all im a new proud owner of this fine diesel van woot woot :D

but three majour things wrong

1) no 4x4
2) im sitting ontop of the engin :eek:
3) and rattels like mad :nenau

its an 1997 looks like a se
 
Ahh, a nice little van, I've worked on a vanette cargo which I guess is the same thing lol!

PICS PLEASE!
 
I had one of these but was an LDV cub, great van / workhorse! Reason I got rid was because if anything went wrong you had to empty van to lift seats etc to access engine, Went through 3 mot's with no advisories. Only thing that went wrong with it during my ownership and it is a common problem was the propshaft, which causes a lot of vibration but a fairly cheap and easy fix!
 
hi guys thanks for the info well i had some bad new and good

the while i was driving to my bothers the clutch went couldnt move forward or backwards on a round about mid morning :eek:
any ways i pushed it along some guy helped me aways got it to safty.
rang the RAC up they didnt no who i was :eek::(
and basicky since iv only brought the van on monday :( any way i cut the story short the i only had brake down cover for ten miles and it would cost 7 quid per mile after that :eek: but glad i was only 11 miles so i had to pay 7 quid.
now it isnt over !!!!!!

they be out within 75 mins that was 1hr 45 mins they arrived ahhh he said the clutch slave cylinder has gone ???
he phoned around there are choice of two sir 1 they have in the other they dont so ill get the one so he did 40 quid okay this is the clutch i was thinging about. he came back miles to big so he said you need a toe he be with you within 15 mins.
i phoned around and i got a quote oh 69 quid okay fair enouth the other one 56 quid ill take both becouse i dont no this was a company in bilston.

3hrs later the toe guy came around very nice guy said there was so busy that one guy was waiting from 9am and they picked him up at 3pm :confused:

That's quite a story, aye the RAC like taking their time, when the startermotor broke on my truck we were told to wait for 3 hours, I thought sod this and after half an hour laying on my back in Tesco carpark, I got the startermotor to reluctantly work and got me truck going, mum phoned the RAC back and said my son fixed it :augie
 
I'm guessing its one of these types:lol :doh
