    High mileage should not put you off. I run 3 vans. 14 plate Movano 436000 miles, 67 plate Master 268000 and 69 plate Master 131000. Serviced as per schedule plus mid service oil change. All running on matching michelin aglis tyres and all drive very sweet. Tend to buy my vans at 3 years old with about 100000 miles on them. My mate buys new vans that are never out of the workshop. Let someone else sort out the teething problems and then look after them and you cant go too far wrong. Last van i sold was a 10 plate sprinter that had clocked 590000 miles. I got rid only because the body work had become too scabby to take to customers houses. Still drove perfect and the Lithuanian guy that bought it said it was the best driving van he had ever driven.

    @hilux4996 Рік тому +1

    Hi to you both, first comment from me I think even though I subscribed years ago. Its regarding safety in a way, and not a bad idea to share it with others. I believe that your van is one of the last with the 2.2 engine? if so, then have a quick look under the bonnet just below the red positive battery charging lug, there is a corrugated piece of wiring loom that usually rubs against the water hose, easier to feel it than see it, just run your hand along the hose. I have seen them with about a 100k and the pipe is nearly rubbed through, and you don't want that letting go on you in 6th gear for sure. Seems like a design fault on them. Worth sharing I think.
    On a lighter note, I am a painter, and repaired a blue one as it was damaged on the lower half, there was a crease there too, so I did the full grind it down, spot weld dent puller etc, etc, only to find that by looking at the other side, its wasn't a crease, the bloody thing is factory. So the one I did is maybe something that you can call customised? Anyway, you can't see both sides at once.🤭
    Take care and all the best for the future, John.

We go through that all the time with complex repairs, money tied up in parts and one part on back order holding everything up. A quick service, oil change and a set of tires, a battery and a tune up, get the machine finished and the money collected! Great job guys.

The car wash guys did a great job once again and I think they deserve a mention even if it is not sponsored. Generally 170 k miles for a diesel engine is fine but I know these can have problems so I think your call is the right one Rob. Thanks for the quick turn around video Rob and Chris oh and happy birthday to Chris. 🎂 🕶 👍👍

    Those trims don’t get stolen Rob, the diesel drips when fuelling up wrecks the plastic clips and the trim eventually falls off. You’ll notice the rubber strip below is a bit soft from the diesel too

    A Ford with rubbers that aren't attached, who would have guessed that would have been the case. I'm sure that's the modern version of the Mondeos that had tape on the bumpers. Very good profit from a days work as well, I'm sure you wouldn't complain about a few more quick turnarounds like this.

    hello Rob& Chris, what a great van you have found - in a pub car park!! The only mark against this van is the high mileage - but, just look at the overall condition - amazing!! Through a dealer would be best - some one will have it!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
