      I've been following him for five years, and still he has no full driving licence. The stupidity of not going for that by now is that the DVLA are constantly adding parts to the test to make it harder. I really don't understand the logic either ? He talks about LPG, but that is on its last legs now, it's being completely phased out in the next year or so.

    For someone who apparently loves cars you are certainly taking your time getting a driving licence. I also love cars and couldn't wait to get on the road, so I started lessons at 17 years old and passed my test just after my 18th birthday. You seem to have your priorities all arse-first. Why are you wasting time ploughing money into piles of junk instead of using your money on passing your test? Aren't you fed up of not being able to legally drive?

    T4 diesel is a good choice, but go for the best condition one you can. The 1.9TD’s are somewhat underpowered, the 2.4D too (but bulletproof). If you can stretch to a 102HP 2.5TDI it’d be your best option, but the 2.4D is a lot cheaper to buy and simpler to maintain.
    I’m on my second , the first was a 102hp Muntivan, my current is a 150hp California camper. Love it to bits 😊.
    I don’t know much about the petrol versions. Whatever you don’t touch the automatic versions, that gearbox is a whole lot of misery ! Make sure you choose a rust free example!
    You may be tempted by an early T5, they are usually cheaper to buy than late T4’s but there’s a reason for that. The build quality of the 2003-2006 models is no where near as good as the T4, and the early 2.5TDI is a disaster as far as reliability is concerned, ask me how I know 🤬
    And pass your test!!!😉

    10-12 mpg is realistic! T4s are overpriced rust buckets, and diesels are painfully slow. Not a good choice at all as unless you spend serious money on a good one (£3-4k), you will be getting a dog needing work.
    The ONLY sensible choice if you are looking for a van is a Toyota HiAce, but these are VERY sought after now, and there are many tarted up wrecks being advertised for top money. Not quite as crazy money as VW though, and you have bulletproof reliability and reasonable (30mpg) fuel consumption.
    Insurance is likely to be £1000+ on any van though, so it's well worth looking at that cost before making any plans on what to buy.

      Recommending a Japanese to someone that can't weld

      @User-wollswoycegawage My HiAce is 05 and no welding needed on it at all. Lot less corrosion than VW.

    So many rogues out there. Ignore the haters, we all get taken advantage of once in a while.
    Good advice about phoning a garage to ask if they know a certain vehicle. I have done that in the past
    Good choice going for a T4. I have owned mine for over 18 years. The 1.9TD is easy to work on. Quite basic, no ECU.
    I am sure your mate knows them well, but if you need any advice on what to look for when buying, where to buy parts for the best price etc, my email address is in my channel discription. Drop me a message and I'll send you my phone number.
    I'd be more than happy to tag along if you are viewing any T4 vans near me. I'm in Newton Abbot.
