Looking in auto trader vans are drastically reduced in price as they cannot sell them I saw a transit custom reduced by 9 k a few weeks ago , brand new I think anyone in the market for a new van now will pick up a bargain.
Aye, sounds right, they offered him a choice of 3 colours on a new 70 plate and I think they have sold his already. Its only 2yrs old and less than 10k on the mileage so they won't have it long. £150 a month for a 4 door Peugeot 108 and he won't even need to buy a tyre for it, I realise why folk are leasing now.
Off topic here but my vehicle has a fault due to the Ad Blue system (Euro 6) and is booked in for repairs and could take around 2 weeks to repair. So I'll be without a vehicle for around 2 weeks, just when things were starting to pick up for me and schools returning!
Is it worth hiring a van? If it's warranty then get them to supply a van if they need it for 2 weeks. Maybe a load of barrels, a battery (from existing van), a pump, and controller etc?
It's being carried out under the dealership's warranty, not the manufacturer's warranty and there's nothing in there about supplying a replacement vehicle. I will get a courtesy car though! Because of injuries to my arms, I cannot be bothered with the barrels so I have written the period off!
As mentioned above, two Ford garages have said it will take up to 2 weeks, but at least one week.
Although there is nothing to say you have a replacement vehicle doesn't say they can't help out towards a hire van? I wasn't thinking of lugging barrels more as a container. i.e. pump to fill them up then hook up to pump and reel.
Mine had this back within 2 days
They have replaced the NOX sensor - but this did not fit the fault.
I'm still building up my client-base so I can manage to move things around without too much hardship. My set up is a delivery tank/pump in my vehicle and using water from Spotless.
If the vehicle is new I'd be asking if the vehicle is fit for purpose. Don't take bull? from a dealership
No idea - it operates the "smart" battery that powers the pump and reel.
No, it's 3.5 years old. I bought it used and fortunately the fault occurred within 2 days of the expiry of the dealership warranty. I cannot fault the dealership at all and they did offer me a van but I declined as I did not want to mess around with barrels and a backpack for a week or two. I did that last year and suffered injuries to my arm which I do not want to aggravate as they are still causing problems (tennis elbow and carpal tunnel).
But going through warranty can be more troublesome then actually getting it fixed from your local mechanic , trade cars are more expensive by 20% more because they factor there 12 momths warramty in ? id rather pay 20% less and a hars task looking for a car exhaust? Hows it so hard ? All u do is phone your local car factors (ull have several based within 10 milea from u ) u give them your vehicle reg and they will have it ordered within 24 hours ?
Lease cars go straight to auction , if u wanna but cheap loon at BCS car solutions , cheap cars and much better then renting ! Theres that many good mechanics about now with low prices its actually worth owning your own vehicle and saving on £££ , i was paying £250 , per month for a van thats 3k per year , 9k per 3 years !
A 6 van operation with old vans running around scrap breakers
Why would i want 6 vans that are new? So i can have higher repair costs for when my vans get bumped? No thanks and i have a 16 plate and 2x 12 plates so not that old is it ? Lmaooo dont judge ? ??
