I never lock it in the hope that it gets nicked. No luck yet :RpS_thumbsup:

We have 2 vans, one is spotless and well organised (thats the van I use) and the other is the one in the picture. That was a taken on Saturday , chucked the gear in and worry about Monday morning :RpS_unsure:

Have a soft spot for the Land Rovers. I come from a big family so growing up we always had a Defender, Range Rover or Disco to cart us all around.

This hopefully will now work. This was my first work van. I still own it but my brother now uses it day in day out. The guy I bought it from had spent a fortune on it and is the quickest diesel van I have driven, But was great on fuel also

 

[stuart23]

Nice looking van mate.

 

[chrisjack231]

Thanks Stuart. The guy I bought it from gave me a pile of receipts when I bought it for over a £1000 pound more than I gave him for it. Probably the main reason I have held on to it and that it still only has 70k on the clock

good stuff mate!
came within sniffin distance of buying a 110 300tdi about 2 years ago, 2 days before going to view / buy it, my insurance company told me the origonal quote was for 3 seats at 350quid ish, and now realising its a 12 seater it was 3.5k.

i couldnt afford that had to walk away

When I had my transit insurance wanted nearly a grand and I have no points Max no claims well over 15year etc and the landy would be £250 but because I use it for work its a different policy and £400 much cheaper to run and maintain than my transit too and better on fuel which I was suprised about?? Yes its basic and not to everybody's taste to drive but I love them and would recommend one to anybody :RpS_thumbup:

 

[stuart23]

I couldn't cope with that mate, how do you find stuff?

[Marshy]

I love landy, you reckon that insurance is cheaper than transit ? As landy not a van so it is classed as normal insurance (for work and social uses) - your tip please and I will buy landy and put flat roof rack like yours.when my cushy (ford escort van) get written off eventually

I've found everything cheaper with my landy Ryan. Servicing, tyres general maintenance etc its classed as a van as no seats in the back or windows and there are specialist insurance company's like Adrian flux who do good deals with landys mine is £400 a year because I carry tools and equipment etc a commercial policy or it would only have been £250 for private social use. Plus its great when the weather turns nasty or we get snow that you will have the peace of mind knowing that you will get to wherever you need to go :RpS_thumbup:

 

[beddy]

Oli can I come and sort that out for you?
