wuvvum got a reaction from Cavcraft in Van wanted
A Dispatch / Scudo / Expert with a 2-litre HDI is a bloody decent bit of kit - plenty available for well under 1500 quid too.

This Transit is a bit rough but tested, running and dirt cheap.

I went to France once on the Princess Anne - would have been about 1985. I found it a bit boring if I'm completely honest - couldn't see owt out of the windows as there was too much spray. My dad bought a working model of the hovercraft though, which made up for it a bit (it went along on land on brushes, then had a little motor with a propeller that you clipped on underneath to run it in the bath).

I finally visited the hovercraft museum, it's bloody ace! I've gone from 'meh' to avidly watching SRN4 videos on YouTube, it's disappointing I'll never get to ride on one (other than the tiddly IoW one).
Apparently there's going to be an auction of parts from the scrapped Princess Margaret, I definitely want some seats to go in my garage. I don't know if the museum will see much of that money though, or if it'll all go to the previous owner of the craft (Homes England).

Nope, RWD. They're the same platform as the Lincoln LS (although tuned more to European tastes obvs).

I really do enjoy driving this beast, but I don't get to use it as much as I'd like and I'm paying an absurd amount of VED again (£187.21 this month) so something's got to give.
It's a W reg 3-litre SE in metallic black with cream / beige leather interior. It's MOT'd to September and has done about 98K. It drives fine, starts on the button and goes like the clappers when you floor it (it has just over 240bhp, which is pretty decent for a NA 3-litre of this vintage). Sounds rather nice too. Driven sensibly it's not bad on fuel for what it is - I managed 35.5mpg (according to the computer) on the run back from Bracknell when I picked it up.
It's a bloody comfortable thing to waft around in. Although it's by far the quickest car I currently own, I often find myself trundling around like a giffer just because it's so relaxing. It has electric everything (including sunroof and seats) and a decent stereo with a tape deck and a CD changer.
Bodywork is tidy for its age - it's not immaculate but there's no damage to speak of, just the usual odd little scuffs. It still looks very smart IMHO. Interior is generally good - there's some wear on the driver's seat bolster but no rips. I haven't had it up on ramps but I've had a look underneath and it looks solid. Tyres are all good.
Bad bits are thus:
-Has an occasional missfire in heavy traffic - usually when it's been crawling along for a while. Believed to be a coil pack, although my code reading software wouldn't tell me which one. Good news is coil packs are not expensive, and the ones on the nearside bank are a 5-minute job to change. The ones on the offside are a bit more involved as the inlet manifold is in the way.
-Central locking has been disconnected as it was apparently draining the battery. Entry is therefore effected the old fashioned way - unlocking the driver's door with the key and then opening the rest of the doors from inside. The interior boot release still works though.
-Cruise control doesn't work - the system switches on but it won't engage the speed hold bit. I suspect the steering wheel buttons as the radio volume control button on the wheel doesn't work either.
-Aircon has no discernible cooling effect, although it sounds like the compressor kicks in as it should, so you might get away with a regas m8.
-One of the rear windows doesn't go down, although the motor works.
That's about it for the bad shiz. The car comes with its leather document wallet with all the handbooks (service book is stamped up to 83K), and a full set of genuine Jaguar floor mats. It's in NE Norfolk and ready to jump in and drive to wherever.

Nothing against them, but that wouldn't really resolve my too many cars / too much VED dilemma...

You know you've been to shitefest when...
...you can play join the dots with your midge bites
...you are carrying somebody else's stuff home as their Wartburg died.
...you look upon Asda's bogs as a thing of finest luxury
Thanks to Saabnut for being an excellent host and RobT for the ride to the chippy. And thanks to everyone else for making shitefest what it is.
