Fucked Maxus £234 Gloucester


Recommended Posts

My transit is a 2010 swb with the 140 bhp. It flies at keeps up with traffic. It's limited to 104 mph unfortunately where it's only at 3k revs in 6th.

This is in getting interrogated now.

 

Had to jump it again, partly blocking the street with the Duster as some smug cunt parked in front of the van watched rather than moving.

 

He paid the price by being drowned in diesel clag as it kicked into life and I booted it away.

Haven’t heard anything today - not sure if they took my number down wrong or if it’s so fucked they’re still busy laughing :D

I remember when I was moving down south, Enterprise Leeds had 4 dead LWB high tops round the back, I was supposed to have a Maxus to move, but due to snow, it was stuck somewhere, so they brought a Transit that wasd almost brand new up from Sheffield, that struggled for grip in the snow, even loaded up to the roof with my stuff. Was glad I didn't end up with one. Don't the new Chinese takeaways all have the same 135ps engine now, or summat daft like that?

The local dealer for here happens to be the main recovery firm for East Anglia, handy for the inevitable tow in for warranty work LOL

That would explain the looks on the drivers faces when I spot one, laugh and pap it for posterity when work drags me east.

Edit
I can't find the pic of that so have a demonstrator on the M6

Quite a few new ones around Glasgow atm, I did a double take when I saw the 17 reg plate.

Yip, I think their only Scottish Dealer is in Glasgow, a few businesses based in East Kilbride have bought some as I see them fairly regularly too.

It’s getting a crank sensor.

 

Spare wheel carrier is loose which was probably causing one of the rattles :D

 

Front shocks are tired and leaking and the front brake discs are suspect but I’ve told them to get it running before I worry about anything else.

Hopefully the crank sensor sorts it.....I know they get a lot of stick but you seem to get a lot of van for your money.

 

are they as rot prone as a transit?

It’s had a bit of welding a couple of years ago according to the MOT history. Doesn’t look to be too bad though.

Hope it sorts itself out for you, Kiltox. You deserve a break with this thing, so fingers firmly crossed.

Cheers fella.

 

I’m guessing it had the contents of the garage hoover chucked at the shocks for the last test given it failed on them....

That's how I aim to fix* my brake pipes on my car!

It’s back.

 

Faster but not fast at all. EML gone but EDC still on (they couldn’t deal with that one they said, probably injector related and needs a diesel specialist?!)

 

Starts a bit better.

 

Old sensor had a fair bit of oil on it so it’s safe to say a few oil seals are buggered.

 

I’m thinking a can of stop leak and injector cleaner and run it until it dies / I trade it in for a new one

If I am going to start using this POS one slightly more minor thing I need to fix is that it seems to only be able to send air to the windscreen regardless of what the controls are set to - what’s broken?

Posted

I’m done with this. Anyone want it?

 

£234 is what the scrappers offer.

 

Only got da green slip m8 but the V5 will be en route

Posted

Really?!

 

Surely you’ve got to have another stab at it. Sack it off until after Christmas and see if you feel differently.

 

A bit of nearly a thou is big. Come on man!

Nah, costs me more in insurance, tax and parking to have it sitting around doing fuck all

 

I need a van that works

Posted

Well you’re doing better than I am if you can sack off that sort of money within the week. That said, I know what you’re saying. Hope it pans out.

Well that escalated quickly!

It's pissing about not starting again, I can't be arsed with it

If there was only one thing wrong with it and not 5-6 things I'd persevere with it.
