so my lad doesn't need his anymore as he now get one with his job.

So seeing as I know a bit of its history I have taken it off him


A 2002 Citroen Dispatch so same as a Puegot Expert or Fiat Scudo.

1.9D with 112,000 on it. Little git told me it was 92 but not sure as the odometer display didn't work. 45 pence and 15 minutes for a bulb told the truth.

So £450 for insurance or £413 if I put the daughter on as a named driver.

And yes checked the GSXR will fit first.

First job is to put some new lock barrels in. Then maybe a new timing belt

In my previous job I done a fair few miles in the fiat scudo, cracking engines, really pokey for a car let alone a van, cruise at a ton no problem :)
Returned decent mpg as well.

Being Italian (?) it did have a few electrical gremlins and a few bits broke but it did get abused in fairness.

Tim, jammy so n so

You know when the timing belt was last done?

Re: Joined the van owning club
 

No my lad bought it in November. I had to give it an oil change and filters. Then front pads. So would guess it has never been done.

I'd be doing that first, they're normally an 80k service Item

Given your son's record with vehicles, I assume you will be getting it checked at a forensic level before driving it?

Start with the easy stuff.

Does it have four wheels?

Pete ;)

And why do you need new locks....what happened to the old ones!

Welcome to the club, you will never look back.

Never be without my van now its soooooooo useful

Re: Joined the van owning club
 

Pete I need not worry.

Lancs plodary check his vehicle on a weekly basis just to make sure he wont be reporting a lost stach.

Seriously though. Lancs did give a Whittle Wilky an official county plod receipt for a "cosh". Incompetent sods. It was only the tail end of a snooker cue with a bit of added weight. Doesn't the dozy sod know the difference??
