Anyone thought of buying a disabled access van for the bike??
They seem to be well designed for bikes.  Fitted ramp and extremely good tie down points. Decent rear head room. Probably drove by more respectable and sensible members of society (other than white van man) and they are pretty cheap..


And of course you can park where the fook you like

No....but now you mention it.......

I looked at a couple mate but they tend to be the crap models ... like french things ....... I have 1 rule

if its 4 wheels    first choice is german if I cannot afford german then ford or vauxhall it is..... you keep to this and you can't go far wrong.....

fooking french is a pile of shite..... the jap stuff is alright but a little gutless for there vans though.....

like I said fella get yourself an ole AA crew cab T4 there are shiteloads about some going for as little as 3 grand

gr what you on about the french oil burning derv engines as one of the most reliable out there, even though i have a german van the finish is rubbish.
your 100% right if your talking cars but vans are different.
for example my van is a VW LT35 ELWB same as the sprinter apart from the engine both my van and the sprinter come from the factory with only two coats of paint of once a few years old look shit thats why you see loads of rusty sprinters about.

the french commercial vans are good better finish than german they paint them like cars , if you want a small van the relay is mega reliable and very cheap.

Jarman vans tend to be 2 or 3 ins groups higher than the equivalent Transits

errmmm i work for mercedse as a vehcle tech and i mean commercial? yes the body finish can be a little shal we say less than what you should get?
but you obviously not aware of the life time warrenty your allowed with the purchase of the vehcle?as long as its been dealer serviced ? and again as a tech  and owning many vans from transits ,a lt 35 (pile of shit,wanabe sprinter)
etc, the 2 sprinters i have owned are the best buy far? must admit the early cdi's have renowned problems for injectors and high pressure pumps but all in all bulit proof ?no cam belts to change as timing chain and as long as you regulary service the fooka she'll be fine?

i love my latest spinter thanks to my work a 57 goes like fook and can fit the house  in there  if i wanted?elecy windows all the gubins ?

the transit was very reliable but the duratorque engine is pronouned for throwing turbos ? nad man that can be expencve  the old 2.5 bannana engine were the best ,not fast but reliable as fook, as long as the belts been changed?


so go for a merc and if you need any advice don't be shy to pm me ? [pray]meany thanks
