Is it worth breaking? You'll get loads more cash if you sell it in bits.

How old is your van....

 

[High Peak Tiling]

What van is it Dave? what did the garage say is the problem?

 

[Bubblecraft]

Sorry to hear that dave. Hope you have another run about soon!

Hi Dave ... Some canny vans down Whessoe road..

 

[Daveshadowman]

To try answer all
It is a connect on 55
Needs injectors and glow plugs new brakes

[High Peak Tiling]

Someone's pricing high for just them things!

 

[Daveshadowman]

He is very good on prices , service for my transit was 149 quid at croft , Nathan was 60 quid all in.

He is a new business , not vat reg yet , so can keep prices keen. But specialises in ford vans.

RIP oh trusty companion!
Mine has cost me €2500 approx over last yr or so. All individual things not one hit, otherwise it would be in van heaven by now. Galling to have to keep shelling out but I can't afford to change it. Shame coz it looks well enough on outside, but rusting like he'll underneath, and loads of mechanical stuff. Transit 05. Good luck.
Find a vw caddy if ya can, ora vauxhall vivaro if you go bigger.

What's the outcome Dave?

 

[trevortine]

Just on the same note If any guys in the Glasgow area need van repairs pm me! Spent 16 years of my life doing just that and still have all the gear and a crackin big garage to do it in, fraction of the cost of dealers!!

I would be getting them recond, glow plugs inexpensive as are brakes. It's maybe not dead yet mate!!

 

[High Peak Tiling]

I should hope it isn't... as longs as all the garages in Dave's area aren't trying it on then the price wont write the van off!

 

[DHTiling]

There are some doge pots this way ... hence why i recommend who i did..

 

[High Peak Tiling]

Good one matey, I'm sure we shall here the outcome

 

[DHTiling]
