Trailer?

trailer??  lol

No, I was serious - you sound as if you are trying hard to make w/c work but you have very little dosh. A van at £700 is gonna be a "shed". If you have a reliable car already then putting your gear in a trailer is a very viable option. As is an estate car.

ford ranger double cab with a massive box on the back m8!

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.

ant that van doesnt need 2 new wing mirrors it just needs the covers fitting back on,

I'll be honest with you, ever since i started my business i have had a astra van, i had 5 of the old shape mk3 and every single one of them either broke down or the engines blew up, I wasted so much money on old crappy vans i could have bought a much newer one, they were unreliable, slow, leaked oil diesel coolant etc

the 1.7td low blow engine (which is in that mk4 astra you have put the link up) is a pile of poop to put it bluntly, its underpowered and is basically a 30+ year old engine which started off in a bedford.

my opinion is do not waste your money on a crap old van its a false economy,

I currently have a 03 astravan 1.6 dual fuel lpg, its fitted with a 210l tank and does me fine, i've done 50k in it and not once has it broke down or had any major repairs done to it, it runs on lpg so 120 miles to a tenner so is dirt dirt cheap to run

it may be a bit small but then again i can still earn £180+ per day in it and thats wfp not trad, you dont need a giant van to earn money.

it will be forsale soon though as i want a combo van

going to take the risk and buy the astra van, keep it a few weeks then buy something else, its just to get me places this week. im soooo desperate its unreal. : :

just found a vauxhall combo epic 1.7, 1997 83k on clock says they have isuzu engines.  550 notes is it worth getting over the astra ?

well my car has gone now and im not allowed a trailer on my licence i have to take another test for trailers, they changed the licence a while ago. same with more than 7 seats, if a car has 8 i cant drive it, or if its over 3tons.

ive got a combo, fantastic little van, 1.7 diesel runs on fumes. i was told of my mechanic friend that the isuzu engine is the one to go for. has it had the cam belt changed ?

We use the vw caddy mk2 vans and find them great for wfp.
I have a 350lt tank and reel etc in and still plenty of room.
There are loads on eBay in your budget. Mine has done 170k
and still going strong.
