The fiat I saw was a spit of the trafics I've been looking at.
Edit, it is. The new fiat talento.

Talking to the neighbour just now while walking the dog. One of his staff has wrapped today and he's offered me this van for £10k.
150k miles butbsounds sweet as a nut compared to mine. 1.6 diesel remapped to 145hp apparently.

Tut, it was the first thing I checked.
I'm not sure a 1.6 diesel would be up to hauling my shite around. There must be a reason the new ones are 2.0 again.

Isn't that the neighbour that you said never services them either?

That's what I thought as well.

The new ones might be 2.0 now just for production efficiency reasons, for example if a lot more 2.0s than 1.6s were being made it might make sense to stop making the latter.

Same vans but the guy I who I thought was the gaffer was just an employer. The gaffer is a weedy, little, baldy, gay bloke with his fringe brushed from the back of his head. Canny enough though.

I was reading that the bigger engines are easier to get through the modern WTLP emissions.

Started work on rebuilding a fuel pump for a guy in Texas. Named Tex.
The fuel pump smelled like horses and had chunks of hay in the intake valve.

But, the pump is the later arm; kit had the wrong bits in, and the main vacuum pump spring is fractured. Now the delay incurred when Things Don't Go Totally Right begins.

This minus the 9k I owe plus the 10k government loan gives me £14k to buy a trafic. I wonder what's out there.
Compare that to your hand-back figure.

And the cunts do chip you for everything, including wanting the money within a week.
