Got the van on the 9th of august 2012 off an interesting car dealer from Mauritius in London UK.
It's a 2003 ex-Royal Mail red van.
It had 2 short-term owners (a DJ and a car dealer) after doing its time with the posties.
Ford banana engine 1900 cc in good running state:
- valve or rocket cover gasket is worn but oil is not leaking badly
- need checking of the cambelt (V-belt or serpentine belt?) as I hear a squeaky noise when the engine is running (should have been done when buying)
- fitted with a speed-limiter so the clutch needs to be pushed far in
Body is in good general condition
- rear bumper left side is going off (repairable or cheaply replaceable) as the rear left light is (cheaply replaceable) - this could mean that there had been a shock on the van but it doesn't look bad.
 |
| Had this been tempered with? Hard to tell. An advert on the web mentioned 60 000.... (??) |
 |
| gaffotaped left rear light and notice the rear bumper has a different colour than the right one (sign of 'repair' = shock/accident) |
 |
| Doors are generally well used |
 |
| Interesting exhaust pipe which will need looking into... |
 |
| the side sliding door works well but the lock doesn't always give the key back willingly |
 |
| Not the actual engine on this van (which is very clean and looks almost new) but a DW8b euro 3 peugeot engine . |
