Obvs. I'd rather repeatedly smash my own face in with a wire brush partially encased in concrete, but someone needs to buy this before some knob warbler cuts the springs and puts a 'lower than your gran's tits' sticker in the back window.

So, pretty sure it's the utterly hopeless 4 banger. For an idea of just how desperately awful these things are, just imagine loading a Sherpa 1700 'O' series van up with concrete blocks, sawing off two of the cylinders, then  driving up the side of Mount twatting Everest with a force 15 gale against you. Oliver Reed would have shied away from the way they drink and the self igniting wiring will send you completely Radio Rental. They're so wheezy, you can just sack off going to a garage and go direct to your asthma nurse who'd hopefully buy it a one way ticket to DIGNITAS.

 

True statement: There is no worse commercial vehicle on earth, that's a promise.

3.9'll be the four pot; the first three 7.5 tonners we got at Glasgow Airport were (Cummins?) 6-pots which used to be thoroughly entertaining in the rain in a sort of terrifying multidrop version of Initial D. Lost count of the number of times I had them swap ends on me, and one (M673 WWB you UTTER BASTARD) even managed to jettison me from the cab whilst doing it.

 

The only memories I have of the two 3.9 4-pots we ended up with - neither of which we used on the road - were that one (AV00193) had 17.5in wheels on the front and 16in wheels on the back and that I crashed the other (AV00266) into the side of the terminal building 'cos the brakes were so thunderously shit I couldn't actually stop it. As far as I know, eight or so years later, there is still the imprint of the front of an Iveco EuroCargo in the cladding on the international pier.

I can't ever remember the 4 cylinder one I was forced to use now and then actually going fast enough to have to stop in the first place.

The six pots were quite quick, but we couldn't get near to the equivelent Dafs.

 

Other drivers genuinely used to laugh if you told them you drove the E14 :(

Bolton's not too far away from a known, good XUD9 owner-with-A-frame either...

Rover 218D turbo with a blown engine. I wonder if anyone on here has a spare XUD9TE, I'd love to try a 218 diesel with a full fat XUD, I used to have a n/a 218D which was quite gutless.

Jesus thats brought back some memories, way back when i was 19/20 i used to drive a bloody Ford D707 with the poxy 4 pot engine, once a week i'd drive to Paisley to the Clydeport authorites storage with bottle tops (believe it or not) for Chivas whisky, the poxy thing was on Michelin X's which were simply bloody lethal, full sideways oversteer on the new M8 at 30mph in the wet anyone?    

Can't believe the Cargo version was still shit.

On me 21st birthday the fuckin thing broke down at Lesmahagow on the way back, ended up thumbing all the way back to St Albans where me car was parked got there just before last orders, bollox.

 

Just to put that miserable bag o crap into perspective, before the D series i drove a Ford A series 7.5 tonner, this was fitted not with the standard 6 pot York engine, oh no, it had the 4 pot York 2.4 NA Diesel as found in standard Transit of the time, used to do the Paisley run once a week in that too...and i wonder why i'm effin mental.

 

sorry lads just realised this is the ebay thread, shouldn't have put this crap here, feel free to delete it Mr Mod.

strange, but this looks like a Chrysler Lebaron to me, this is the 2.2, is that the engine that is best avoided?

 

 

 

Only if turbo.

It's the VW based SOHC lump that already did duty in the Plymouth Horizon/Dodge Omni.

Not a bad engine all things considered, but you will forever live with the knowledge that it isn't the silky smooth 3.0 Mitsubishi V6 that also was available.

Hence it's the right choice for a shiter. Besides, the JRG/Caramac combo is arrestingly beautiful*.

'with almost all original paint, apart from the off side front panel'

 

'the paintwork was sun bleached to death ,and  flat as pancake  when I got the bus, so I hit it with the machine polisher to give it a bit of a shine'

 

Well, that ended up great, didn't it?

Hit being the correct word.
