ok i have now sold my mx5 will miss it being its a first car blah blah you kno the drill, first cars are always a sensative subject but i wanna look like a pro so im currently looking at a vauxhall astra van on ebay. are these vans any good and later on would a water fed pole system fit in the back of it?   i also saw an ldv sub or something but i heard there slow even tho there 2.5L.

If you're thinking of going wfp I would look a bit bigger than the astra, maybe berlingo, kangoo, combo etc.

[ant french]

almost wona  combo but to insure it was a joke, any other van is fine. i have a small budget aswell of 700 so its getting a bargain lol

good thinking batman, couple of jet engines on bk lol

nah on a serious note im not sure, i also sore a fiat ducato, but had my heart set on a fiat scudo but as i need a van for monday im limited for time as the blokes coming sat morning for my car so i have 1 1/2 days to get another vehicle.   another question, what will happen to my insurance on my car as the insurance on the van will be half of the car, will i just transfer it over and carry on paying as i was but cheaper or will they be tight and say pay all the rest of the policy off

I had a Astra van. 1999-2004 model.
Had a 350ltr flat tank in the back, one reel, pump battery etc and a little space. Was very weak when fully loaded with water, but was the best my budget could afford.

Looking again, I would probably search for a cheap, Berlingo, Partner etc.
I wanted the Astra as it looked better, but wasnt the most practical.

And every Astra van including my old one, I have seen, smokes!!

i will just keep scanning ebay till something pops up, transit is ideal but its kinda pikey style i think, my neighbour has one with flashing beacon on it, we stuck a horse shoe on the front for a joke and he didnt take it as a laff lol

Ant,
       Ian101 has got a nissan vanette for sale in the buy & Sell section for £750.00 if any good? I don't know what insurance would be, not too bad I would have thought. 

[bobby p]

i used to be a mechanic and i tell you watch out when buying an Astra.  the engine revs good BUT isnt a long laster and ebay is full of ones that have blown up . Very pricey to fix cos its a jap engine .  dont bid before you have driven it mate

[ant french]
