Wack Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Funny, the first thing I thought was why didn't Wack advertise this 12 hours earlier?We were still at the stompy shouty point in new vehicle negotiations at that point skattrd and Kiltox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Has the transit engine cooked itself? Better the devil you know really maybe get a known good engine stuffed into it rather than new interesting problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 No but I was looking at it , it's getting really scruffy , done 211,000 miles , no record of it every having a clutch which is £1000 on these with the DMF,I've had my money's worth out of it so it's time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen01 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Loved my 06 boxer, by modern vans now it's probably a bag of crap, I'd love a Range Rover but not the time for me yet.. Does seem cheap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Much as I like Range Rovers, they seem to be another of those cars where the purchase price is just like the entry fee at the door of one of those clubs, everything after that costs more. Especially if you want to go upstairs. Asimo, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, dome and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 I've had it a year , it's stood for a week and fired up like it was started yesterday , only warning messages I've seen are, it's 4 degrees outside so you might want to put a coat on and buy a new battery for the key tightwad. in the service history it's had a recon gearbox , suspension and pump , stays up even if not moved for a week,, I know the engine is low mileage because I saw it running in the car I bought it from, about 70,000 miles , meant to take a picture of the dash but forgot The problem with the air not blowing on the screen seems to have fixed itself , aircon was regassed and is freezing, NS disc brake shield is rattling , needs a big washer under the bolt It drives really nice and for £2500 if something major went bang it'd break for quite a lot MOT History DF 03 VNS https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ link cost £11 , CV boot was a loose jubilee clip https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ Dan_ZTT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 This car is a mega bargain and an absolute no brainer compared with any other L322 in the country. You can’t buy a properly viable one for £2500 unless you’re in the trade which is why I’ve bought an E53 X5 instead. If I hadn’t left a deposit on the X5 I’d be driving this home on Saturday Wack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 On vans - if I could’ve found a sprinter/crafter equivalent to my Relay at the time I would’ve bought one without a shadow of a doubt. Proper van. Mechanics might not agree Wack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Just rang a guy about a fiat ducato , I've rung people before and thought I'm not even going to look at that but didn't get that vibe from this guy so deposit left anybody want to buy a transit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 The wife likes this very much...shame the wheel is on the wrong side for us I can see how that'd be a problem, it'd be fun to watch her scream as you pull out to overtake and she gets first glimpse of an artic coming straight at her though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy18s Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's fast enough to overtake?And tbh the fecking hgvs over here drive on whichever side of the road suits them,depends on what the driver is looking for.....Red Bull shop,Vodka store or a "nice" hooker Wack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Anybody spending £2500 on a 40k car is taking a risk , if you don't like that risk rent a KIA for £30 a week , this is a MOt'd running, driving, all the warning lights go out, AC works , sunroof works ,radio works, 8mm on the tyres Range Rover for £2500 which is as cheap as they get Stevebrookman, NorthernMonkey, Christine and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 I have a vague memory of looking at fuses but it hasn't been misty for 8 months so I've not needed it on so haven't bothered looking any further , I will check that thanks artdjones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just another update, this is on a sorn , battery was knackered so I've just fitted a new one, started first time, all lights went out, nothing bad to report , still for sale £2500 but I've decided I really like it so I'm not taking less, I've got close to 4k in it now Alanism, drum and red5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 for sale £2500 I'm not taking less, I've got close to 4k in it now Just putting that here. How many miles have you done? i.e. cost per mile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 It's not about the mileage , it's the experience My plan was to sell her b class and use this but that didn't happen , i've probably done 2000 miles in it since I've had it. stephen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen01 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yep - was like that for the jag, lost money on it but got to drive it around for 5 months! and by having the MOT work done it got to live on for another 12 months. I'd have actually lost less money if I scrapped it when the MOT was up but it really was to clean to scrap for the sake of a couple hundred with the MOT man.

Fat_Pirate Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I am in turmoil here, I have no requirement for a 4x4, no need to tow anything, and most of the time I'm the only person in the car but I WANT THIS. A friend has had one for 10 years now and it's thoroughly lived up to it's reputation for unreliability and ruinous running costs, but I STILL WANT IT. Let's see it again so some other sucker can impulse-buy it before I do something stupid: alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
