Title: is this a good deal
Post by: jsb on April 11, 2014, 04:33:15 pm

am a trad cleaner , and have been for 20 yrs, am thinking of going wfp.

I have no knowledge of systems , best poles etc, and I thought the easiest way is to buy a van with a ready made setup .

I have been looking on e bay , and there are loads ,

what do u think of this van , is it good value .

thanks

Van looks pretty good for the money, but in the description there is no mention of poles being included.

Don't touch a 1.6hdi that's had a turbo,it will need another one soon enough.

Its all over the web,my local garage clued me up.

thanks , didn't notice poles were missing,

thanks for turbo info, I def cant be bothered with repairing old vans ,

I have looked at a new van on Bristol st motors , Peugeot bipper 1.3 , its £7995 + vat,

trouble is I bought a new car 6 months ago , if I sell now to buy a new van I would loose £3000,

I cant afford to run 2 motors and don't wont 2, my wife has given up driving so 1 motor wouldn't get used .

many thanks for your input

Part-x for an L200 400-600ltr tank in back and you still get a motor for your personal social stuff days out shopping etc . Mike

I know this isn't the question you asked! but - find a local wfp windie who's willing to take you out for the day. You could learn more about wfp and it's requirements regarding kit in that day, than 100 questions on here.

Another positive, is that you will at least have something to base your 1st wfp spend on.

Build your own system, ask local windie to help were needed! And then steal his work after  ;D
