Well the escort van has had it, it was that bad the guy in the MOt garage wouldn't even put it through the test. [fair play to him].
Still I did get over two years out of it for my £350.
It's a case of running the car and trailer until I can find a replacement.
Hell I could have done without the expense at the moment, new baby due in 4 weeks. Cheapy vans are like gold dust at the moment.

New baby? Ford connect or something?

Dai, why don't you text everyone on your phone asking if they know of any vans for sale.
I did this and came across a expert. N reg with 170 on the clock, but the mechanic said it drives really well for its age.
Granted its not new and needs a few 100 spending on it soon, but you can get that with a 5 year old van.
Also ring round your local garages. Mine was sitting at a garage for 6 months waiting for someone to ask about it (wasn't advertised). Was just a case of speaking to the right person which I did ;D

I'm seriously considering going down the trailer route.
It seems you can buy a lot better car for a couple of grand than you could a van.
I only need to carry `10 containers and my trolley, and the one place that I need ladders I have a place I can leave them.
I already have a box trailer, and a tow bar on my car, so will give it a couple of weeks before I decide.
I thought I may have been taking a chance when I filled the van with diesel last Friday, Just put 12 months tax on it too, Ah well I can get that back.

You can have another escort if you want
98R Ford Escort for £100 90,000miles 1 weeks Mot 3 weeks tax. Just got abit of rust underneath but bodywork is average. Its has roof bars and brodex 250 DI system which is for sale for £1500 inc 18 & 31 ft poles and 50m reel. The System is only 2 months old but the work that i have i am quicker doing traditionally.
Failed Mot just needs some welding and a new front gaiter, clutch and drive shaft. Been quoted £140 for repair but not got a price for the welding.
