yellowperil Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Perfect. Train from Liverpool to Norwich, train (Class 37 hauled if you're lucky) from Norwich to Acle, then drive 250 miles home to a pre-booked MOT. WCPGW? I could even come over with a pair of jump leads if need be.[/quote It has a blown head gasket, it wouldn't get there.It's all in the post above.

Cavcraft Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 She has been sitting on my drive for the last year,so no MOT.Location is about three miles off the A47 near Axle, Norfolk.Not wanting a PX, but not wanting a lot of money for it either. Soz, chief, I just skimmed the thread and thought it was up and running and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowperil Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is still sitting on my drive, does anybody want to save it?If someone is willing to put some effort in to repairing it they will have a van that is so uncool that it then becomes cool. I will let it go for free. I want my drive back. drum and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm going right past there (probs) in next few weeks. In a car. With a towbar. Sadly, my long suffering missus would finally lose her shit if I attempted to A-frame or trailer it home. To be fair, VOSA would probably implode too, I'm absolutely shit at towing. Verdict: Wuvvum should get this. nigel bickle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, she wouldn't actually even care about it being round the back, it's dragging it home on the way back that might* bother her. Quite a bit.

bunglebus Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I can't believe I've resisted the temptation to drag it home, sorely tempted but I'm supposed to be clearing out stuff before we move. Mind you a van would be useful... eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castros_bro Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hi, An empty lock-up related question, would you measure and tell me how high the highest part of the R5 is? Here's m bigger Renner diesel outside a different lock-up as it doesn’t fit in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperil Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 I can't find a freaking tape measure anywhere to measure it properly, but the highest part of the roof is just above chin height if I stand next to it, I am 5'11" tall.So less than six ft tall.

UltraWomble Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 This would be rather ace for my lad, who wants a van, however you appear to be a zillion miles away from me, so ahhhm ooot.I could do with Cavcraft offering a free car really, but there would be more chance of Hell freezing over than that happening. Have a free bump anyway. yellowperil, purplebargeken and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
