I actually think the new shape transit is the worst looking van ever.

I like it!!!!

well...

just did a job for a forum member up in Glasgow....

now heres the thing:

the new van drives really well......but dissapointing on hills...oh, it has a liking for fuel as well...

now:

Robin (neighbour) has a yard....he has offered to tow back the Boxer....

i`m going to see what the insurance issues are regarding dropping out the old 2.5 lump out of the van i have now...and putting in the 2.8HDI out of the written off Boxer....

that will sort out the slow up hills issue...i guarentee it...

You're right, it ain't pretty but a second class drive is always better than a first class walk in my opinion. Glad to see you're back on the road again. I'd just grit my teeth and drive it as it is, it will probably be more reliable and less complicated that way. You can always trade it in for something better when finances allow.

Im sorry Marv....

but i have to see what the implications are...caus that Boxer pulled like a train....

the van i have now is solid...if the engine swap is a goer....then i`l keep this van...swap the power unit out...and feel much happier...

caus at the mo...:sad:

a turbo makes all the difference....

Going off on a tangent, as I do, I spotted a van just around the corner parked by the new housing estate and the company was called "The Bonny Tiler". :smilewinkgrin:

Aye .. that's a lass who does tiling. She's been going for a while and seems to be doing ok.

Ah right, there was a bloke getting some tools out of the back of the van so maybe her gadgee. :willy_nilly:

To me a van is a toolbox with an engine.

If it looks nice, all well and good, but all it really has to do is get me and my tools to the job on time.

Having said that if anyone can point me in the direction of some RAC orange touch up paint I'd be delighted.
