850 sounds a good price as well, needs some tidying an the new owner to join up on here if they haven't already
yeh we got a cav turbo for a bargain price of 1200 
tbh i feel bit awkward coming on here coz i dont know if ste upset rc at pvs about the van?! i hope not but i've kept outta the way anyway lol 
especially now he's read my van thread and knows how i did everything on it and how it is now. I thinks ste's the best thing that happened to the van since i sold it, engine bay and mechanicals look alot better again 
Hi claire, don't worry there's no bad blood between us
he did bits on it here and there as it broke or needed it, i have a feeling that the home its gone to now though it wont be looked after very well, gone to a guy that runs a security company and he wants it as a workhorse 
im just wondering what we're guna sleep in at next years pvs lol i dont do tents!!
just a little update on the van,
i arnt able to do minute by minute pictures and write ups like ronnie because if i do any work on her im as slow as a go slow machine in really slow mode so sorry bout that.
any way i bought the van like i said for a laugh a few months ago and me and a mate tryed our best to blow her up but to my suprise we didnt succeed, since then i have had some life issues and lost all my money, and the only thing i was left with was the van, I lived in her for a couple of weeks, with every thing that was happening and all the time iv spent with her i got quite attached to her and started doing some research on these vans (as i said im an electrician and until recently couldnt change a wheel lol), i came across this post and i am real impressed with you ronnie it looked great and i thought it would be a real shame to wreck her so i have decided to give her some love and affection.
I started by trying to make it look a little less tatty so i removed the side skirts and prepped and painted the sills, and cleaned up the skirts and refitted them (this is only a temp thing untill i can afford a respray) it has made a big difference.
through the week i have removed the wheels and had new tyres fitted, (lucky- the manager of my local kwick fit was so impressed with the van and simpathetic to my limited funds at the mo, he gave me 4 tyres at cost £140 fitted BARGAIN
I removed both front legs and fitted new bearings and outer cv's and again cleaned every thing up.
i have changed oil an filter and repaired a leak from the sump.
fitted standard springs on the back, i have had to, you will understand wen you see pics.
sorry for droning on but im new to these forums so bare with me please
i just found my camera leads tonight so will post some pics tomoro
