Is the hedge structural?
Also shame about that LS400 in the background.
Lol....It looks like it might be. As for the Lexus, I did not notice that lurking in the background. Well spotted.

Live Incoming Pictures, Also, Mileage is slightly lower than 255,000 miles, its actually a nice low mileage of just 248,601 miles...lol.
Also, I have absolutely no idea why the pictures are the wrong way up????.....I tried to upload them from my phone at first, but they loaded up the wrong way, so now I am on my Laptop, & they are still loading up the same????
If someone can fix them so that they are the correct way up.
Apologies, but here it is.
It has the full logbook, in my Dads name, the mot & a key.
Please don't expect a brand new van, but, if you are looking for a reliable little jump around that you can leave anywhere without fear of it getting scratched etc,
this could be it.
My Dad also says it is very good on diesel mpg.
Anyhoo, feel free to get in touch, check what you need to & ask any questions.
Cheers.

Hi all,
My Dad has decided to sell his 2011, 11 reg Peugeot Bipper Van, as he has no use for it anymore. It was bought last year for when the house was getting renovated.
It's a 1.3 or 1.4 hdi (I will check)
Has MOT until July 2019 & has covered a mere 255,000 miles. Yes, 255,000 miles.
It drives well considering it's mileage, clutch & gearbox are good & tight, Brakes are superb.

Volvo T5!
Brilliant suggestion, that lovely 5 cylinder warble.....& impressive speed.
-
A honda Vtec engine?...2.0 or 2.2 petrol?....people shoehorn them into mini's...
-
That's crazy how it has just stood still over time. I take it there is no owner listed for the place?....that old 850 looks saveable.

Hello & Welcome. They look nice, especially the 850 T5 estate. Is that a manual or an auto?
I also run a Volvo, an S60 T5, it's currently waiting to in go for some major surgery on Monday, it requires a new clutch slave cylinder & clutch assembly etc.
Fine cars though, especially the T5's.
keep posting your pictures & stories etc.

I did not look at clutch specialists tbh, I only went to people that I know & trust.They're usually bandits, but any clutch only specialists near you?
That's not a dig at any clutch specialists, just I am quite fussy about who gets to work on my vehicle/s. Especially the Volvo.

No, it's a colour called magic blue I believe, it looks sort of dark purple in certain lights.Says he who wades in and rattles a KV6 Cambelt off like it was a walk in the park.
You S60 isn't a metallic dark gold colour by anychance. I had one for a while a few years ago as a temporary fleet car for about 4 months. D5 Manwell, it was a fine car
It's this exact colour (not my picture)
-
Thats a good price for that level of ballache i reckon
It certainly is Mr B, still a lot of money, but, it's better than nearly £1k.

You heartless bastard, fixing your car how dare you!
Lol.....i know eh?..this time yesterday, my arse was shitting buttons at the thought of getting it sorted....now though, it's all good.
I will definitely let every one know how it's goes, & all going good, some updated pictures of the Car aswell.. & if I can & anyone is interested in it, i will get some pictures of the old clutch assembly that comes out of it, see what it looks like.
-
This is the correct decision and its great that it will not be getting bridged.
However not so great that I won't be able to try and get it off you broken for an insultingly low amount, then make the whole thing financially unviable trying to transport it to the midlands to get it fixed
Lol......I apologise if I scuppered your cunning plan Captian Furious.
-
Sounds sensible to keep a car you know & like.
My thoughts exactly Hooli,& as they say, old Volvos never die. But, it's a good thought that it's going to be sorted & on the road again, plus, once it's done, I can't see it needing done again for a long long long time, certainly not with my driving style anyway..lol.
It is possible also that this is it's original clutch, so if it is, 15 years & 143,000 odd miles is not bad I guess.

Ok, update on the Volvo. I spoke today with one of the mechanics I know & that I asked yesterday. It's going to cost between £600-650, which is better than the £955. So, it's is now booked in for 8:30am Monday morning, for some major surgery,being done by someone that I know & trust. It is also getting transported to my friend, I sorted that out also.
So my Volvo is going to live on, which is a result.
I am more upbeat about it now than I was yesterday.
So, it will be, new clutch plate, flywheel, & clutch slave cylinder, plus brake/clutch fluid & gearbox oil. Oh & he is going to sort the track rod end & ball joint whilst he is at it.
Result.
I will update once it is sorted, but I am well happy & looking forward to getting it back sorted. So to summarise....it is not getting & will not be bridged...Result.

I think sierraman was specifically meaning, would £1000 buy another 2.4 T5 6 speed manual, that had not been a police car?...not just any old T5.What with a part worn clutch in it and everything else condition unknown?
Yeah that would make a lot of sense......
If you like the car fix it with a clutch kit
