Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    When l was looking a few years ago most of them for sale were ex UK
    rental vans.

    I stayed away from them and eventually found a decent Irish van that was never a rental van.

    Haven't had any problems with it touch wood.

    I'm currently driving a 142 model for work, which is hired. It had 300km on it when I got it, and up at 43000 now with no issues at all with it. I love it to be honest, get in and around 1000km per fill out of it. Granted the most weight I would carry is around the 50kg mark.

    Prior to that I had a 12 reg one, again hired. Drove it for around the 20000km mark with no issues either.

    No major power in them but they are a comfortable bus to tour around in.

    Hope this helps!

    What?? 2 injectors for 1500?! You can buy them brand new for €270 inc vat each. (I assume these are the Continental/Siemens injectors)

    I have! 😂 Purchased a 2011 ex-biomnis hire van Only was every a fridge or something in the back of it. No problems yet. Just put through its second doe and flew through. Wanted higher spec 2.0 model but like hens teeth but settled for 104bhp 1.6 model. Bit underpowered but it's not a race car
