Ex-Vaillant Gas servicing van I've owned since Jan 2012 purchased from a friend with less than 500 miles on a reconditioned engine (1.6TD JX). Since taking ownership I've lowered it using brickwerks supplied -70mm AVO springs and Bilsten shocks which improved the handling & comfort no end. I have also insulated, carpet lined and added a full width bed and LED lights running from a leisure setup (split charger). It was initially bought for my wife and I to use when we went mountain biking with the option to camp out. Since then we had our 1st child and I again modified it slightly to enable us to go camping and to have some great family days out. I'm sticking with T3s but looking for something with windows, rear belts & roof space. I've thought about cutting into the van but I just can't justify it and losing its authentic commercial coolness. Pros -70mm AVO Spring and Bilsten Shocks 12v volt leisure setup LED lights in the rear Some panel sound deadening Foil/bubble wrap insulation Ply Lined & Carpeted Full width Rock n Roll Bed (with raise engine platform) and cushions Starter motor replaced early 2014 New Brake lines throughout early 2015 New exhaust September 2015 Replaced fuel lines in engine bay and added a bulb pump Top bulk head removed but included in sale Driving lights and Fog lights Upgraded headlights to 'E' marked units (see forum thread) Reverse camera Standard steel wheels with hubcaps Cons Seam rash - needs to be sorted in usual areas. Just a really versatile van for a couple or family of 3 (if you get a cabin bunk), traveled from Cheshire to Dorset for a weeks camping and recently a week in the Lakes and it's been great. Will be genuinely sorry to see it go. As I'm getting another T3 I've removed the Dubflectors, Cab bunk, table, party lights (yeah I know) and Porsche Teledials which you may see in some photos. £3500 PM me if interested and I can give you more details answer questions etc. I'm based in Cheshire and usually post in 80-90. |
