URGENT: Van rental to u21

Have you thought this through? It's going to cost you the best part of £150-£200 just to deliver the engine if you do this! You might as well just throw it away as I doubt its sold for much more! Factor in the cost of your time for your day off work and you've probably ended up costing yourself more than you sold the thing for.

How daft.

Because then lots of 21-25s would search Google find this thread and crash and burn. Then I wouldn't be able to hire vans cheap because others would have wrecked it.

It doesn't matter in Toms case anyway as he isn't 21, and they only do over 21s.

Then there was no point in you mentioning it, was there?

I was winding Tom up.. considering I lived with him for a short period and we both wound each other up then I like to think I've got the right.

So go troll elsewhere :p

it cost me about about £130 including rental including food for us both including diesel and giving andy £20 and i wouldve had to take at least half a day off just to send it. Factor in that my payrise doesnt take effect until the 1st of october and i'm on £FA atm, and I didnt lose too much. Oh, he also paid £100 on top of my asking price for me to do it.

I bought the engine for £500, took a few bits and bats I needed from it including an aircon pump that ford wanted £200 for, and sold it for £950 inc me delivering it, so yea it was worth it :)

I'm not daft, if I was willing to let it go for as little as i'd paid for it why would I still have it 3 months down the line? :p
 
Do you know how hard it was to drive that bloody van though?

It had what... 80hp and had to carry your fat arse around :p I think it topped 88mph GPS downhill :(

oi oi :p no wonder it only got 37mpg from a bloomin diesel van! Looked up the combined figures and it shouldve got 40 combined, nevermind 37 almost all motorway!

Turns out the fuel gauge was shagged, when I took it back they tried to fill it up and it was full too, so there was a fault with the gauge.

Oh well :)

Tom.
 
And i have to drive a van all day, 75bhp sucks, especially when other people on the road dont accelerate!

Makes you plan your overtakes, or just use do or die tactics to overtake :o
 
A problem with the fuel gauge? So when we filled up at Asda, it wasn't empty?

Karl, that's exactly it... I had to sit in the inside lane in 4th gear ready to nail it and only when I'd reached my desired speed, pull out. Absolutely crazy. It was actually dangerous!

Looking back, it was funny when you were having a go at that guy in the petrol station, "Get it fixed, both pumps are knackered" :D
