High mileage Renault Master LWB - Martin Devon
Hello. I have run a LWB medium roof Master (Builder) from new in 02 now on about 78k. and I have carried quite a bit of weight in that time, both in the van and personally! Apart from a few minor niggles (and I am a fussy sod) there have been no real problems. Small Electrical gremlins have reared their heads, but nothing major. If you buy get one with a clear cambelt record of changes including all pulleys etc. I don't subscribe to the 18,000 mile service intervals and I aim to change the oil every 5k (if I am on the ball and not too busy) but for sure I have changed it at least at every 7k. Essential I think.
