yep totally I'm keen ..

and I love the look of that one .. I have never been a fan of white ..

but jock seems to have dived back underwater?

anyone know another way to get in touch with him?
he seemed to disappear right after posting the ad?

perhaps its sold already .. but he never answered any of the questions in the thread?

cheers,

joe.

I didn't get it!

Got all the way there .. put a deposit down .. took it for a drive .. and sadly .. she is not my girl!

She felt sluggish and weary .. and not what this little red fish needs right now .. am very sad because I was so keen and ready .. but the extra work it needed was going to make it more than it was worth and more than I can do at this stage ..

It is still a pretty good wagon .. but really the interior is its winning point .. incredibly practical and comfortable camper set up .. and in general I am not a fan of camper set ups ..

But in my opinion it needed a new diff right off.. the gear box sounded like it was totally overworking and had for a bloody long time so that would need a reboot soon too .. there were quite a few more bits of rust than were presented .. and I asked for detail on rust .. all managable .. but cant be doing so right now ..

doors had always been slammed .. so none were closing properly anymore and window fittings were shaking loose now also .. gear stick needs to be refitted as is pretty loose and hanging off .. needs new pedal pads ..

just felt sloppy, old and heavy ..

brakes with a judder still.. turning circle felt very odd ..

mm.. and there is now a bloody big left hand rear light dent with contorsions from where she backed it into a container ..

The girl is great though ! They did there best to bring it up to being a good wagon to sell .. but I think it was a bit of an 11th hour patch up and cover job really ..

I know I am being a bit particular .. but I have to be real about what I take on right now .. and it has to feel right .. cause I love the drive .. and want to enjoy it and feel safe in it ..

and my bedfords always felt surprisingly nimble .. so not sure I can take on a snail that I cant easily bring up to scratch ..

so.. very sadly ..

back to the search!

Please let me know if there is any lwb dual fuel with good diffs come up!

gutted camper would be perfect .. cause I like that pop top thing .. never had one of those before !

and let me know if anyone else is interested in this white one that I have left behind.. it certainly can be made great again .. but there will be lots of little things and a few big things to do for her!
