"slow, noisy, tempremental" How do you no your vans female?

 

[telectrix]

it's deffo female, hard to start, slow to warm up, but fantastic once it gets going. ( now i'll have the pc gestapo after me for being sexist. can you actually be offensive to a van, ? do vans have feelings? ) and before the RSPCA get on the bandwagon, no frogs were harmed in the making of the photo. it's not a real frog freezing to death on the front grille.

A van you can trade in NUFF Said

 

[telectrix]

this van will not trade in it will be weighed in as it's going to run till it dies a natural death. no more expensive, newish vans for me, spending more time in the renault dealers being " repaired"! than on the road.

Any thing i drive normal ends up with a dent in the front or "you ve got take the wheels off and drain the oil mate before we ll take it". Oh a bonus scrap is a good price at the mo lol.
My Voyager bless her socks weights 2 and 1/4 tons

Constant 56 mph mate 30 mpg cant fault the old girl. 190k on the clock, smokes like the site dumper when she fires up in the morning, Heated everything leccy everything (all works touch wood) Straight threw the MOT(the 2 times iv had her) Was thinking about getting a van cant see i ll get much more MPG unless i spend a few grand(which i have nt got) Stick with what you no, i bought many a dog van in my time. Best bet buy it cheap when it breaks down and its gunna cost ne more then £200 to fix throw it away.
