Hello van people!

I am finally in a position to buy a van to convert into a camper, and plan to spend the summer holidays each year travelling around the UK and beyond with my little boy.

I won’t bore you with the conversion details but wanted to ask you some questions about my dream base vehicle, the Transit L3 H3 (no arguing me out of this one I’m afraid!).

1. Is there more load space in the FWD than the RWD? How much?
2. Is there more load space in the post-2014 vans? If so does anybody know the measurement difference between the two load areas? I’m need as much height and width as possible.
3. Would any of you buy a post-2014 van with 140,000-150,000 mileage for this use? (Bear in mind I’m not planning on a resale but want it to last us at least seven years as a camper) Or would we be better off looking for an older model with less than 100K on the clock? My concerns with the older models are that if I’m not sure we’d get the max height and width (no, I want a Ducato!), but I don’t have the budget to get a newer van with less miles...
4. Finally, I don’t suppose anybody knows when the used van market is going to cool off a bit?! ;)

Thanks so much and apologies for my ignorance - this will be my first van purchase and I’m in the research phase.

I've recently completed the replacement of the rear crankshaft oil seal and gearbox oil seals - thanks for your advice in my previous post.

Although the clutch still seemed servicable, I decided to replace it anyway (including slave cylinder) whilst the gearbox was out.... Read more

Hi

I bought a Mitsibushi Canter Box Van 2013 (7t) in March from a Reputable National Dealer with MOT expiring in Nov 2020. I went to get it MOt'd recently and it failed on ABS light not coming on after ignition. I took it to the garage, they stripped out the dash, and there is no ABS light - i.e there has never been one. There is an ABS system on the vehicle but there is no facility for an ABS light, so that means it can never be roadworthy unless a new dash is put in. It must have been missed on all previous MOT's but picked up on this one as since there has never been a light or a facility for one. Do I have any recourse to the dealership. Has the dealership sold me a vehicle that is faulty or unroadworthy?... Read more

My new parked car (BMW) that I have had since May 2020 was hit by a scaffold truck last Monday resulting in a damaged wing mirror (broken glass and cracked housing).
Using the anonymous note left on my windscreen with the number plate, CCTV footage from my house camera showing the truck going past my house and whilst not seeing but hearing the sound of impact and the power of social media, I was able to find the culprit at the weekend.
The driver initially tried to deny it was him but after seeing the footage and seeing the photo of his number plate, he admitted he heard the impact but thought it may have been the car behind him at the time.
He then said his reputation was very good in the area and an impact on it would be too big so he would pay and do the needful on getting it repaired. He also said it was best to go out of the insurance companies as he had previously had an impact on his insurance and would cause issues with his livelihood.

I took my car to a local reputable mechanic today and he called BMW direct to find the cost of a replacement mirror - £600 excluding labour!
I informed the driver of the cost and he said 'it was too much'. I said I would get a couple more opinions from other mechanics however how should I approach this situation?
On one side I am keen to just go via insurance however at the same time I don't want to be the cause of someone's livelihood being impacted.
I want to be fair as possible but at the same time not risk any complications getting this resolved. Read more
