83C Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Big ask I know, but my circumstances may be changing a bit soon and I need a mega-cheap, yet roadworthy and MoT'd Transit-sized van, even better something fitted out as a basic camper.Budget? As little as possible, certainly sub-£1k.I'm not in a rush, I need something sorted by late April (so 4 weeks or so).Anyone know to owt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazoli Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm sure there was a Vivaro on a local fb page, will see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It's a royal pain in the arse trying to get decent pictures of the underside of a vehicle, but I'll give it a whirl in the morning assuming I get up early enough. 83C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's only £400! If it has an underside it's a bonus! robinmasters and gadgetgricey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Update, I'm still looking for a van. For family reasons it has to be something half-decent, the budget has improved to a maximum of £1250ish for the right machine. Needs to be: Long Wheel Base at least. A jumbo would be even better. I'd also consider minibuses. It's for a self-build camper project, as its for two adults and two small children to use occasionally for 1-3 night stays. It's also for myself to use regularly on my own. There's a few machines that look ok on eBay, but they're all miles away and seem to be being sold by chimps who can't converse properly. Crucially, the van has to have minor faults only. Nothing that requires major attention, cosmetics can be sorted though. Long MoT would be even better. Over to you folks...

Timewaster Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 What's that Lucas thing that looks like a HT coil (but isn't)? (behind the blue 16 amp connector)At a guess it's a capacitor to store charge and give you a massive belt when you touch the fucker.. I mean to cope with start up current draw on fridge motors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Imagine waking up in that Transit Ambulance. The sad fact that probably quite a few didn't would be enough to put a lot of people off. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 That Transit would make a pretty tasty camper. The Ign coil looking thing is most likely a split charging diode, a device which cleverly ensures that both a master and auxiliary battery receive a wholly inadequate charge, I like the little Selmar mounted next to it, I wonder how that's wired in.

83C Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 I do like the Transit, unfortunately yesterday I lumbered myself with a slightly leggy Sprinter with a hole in the roof. Wingz123 and somewhatfoolish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
