Any running an eary T4? Been offered a dirt cheap 2.4 91 LWB model. Has a camping interior and being sold by a guy at local VW club.

I've had Bay's and now a Split so know my dubs, but just wondering what the early T4's are like? Its got 180k on it but thats just run in on modern diesels these days 🙂
Its £650 with 9 months MOT and 6 months Tax so would kinda be rude not to 😆

If you don't and Olly don't and it's not bad then point him this way.

Ah! South Wales that's a bit too far.

At that price buy it and worry about it later as you'll never lose money.

early ones are not as well rust proofed as the later ones so check for rot and filler round the wheelarches. Drum brakes on the back, different bumpers and dash but at the price you say, worth a punt. 2.4s have a tendency to crack cyclinder heads, ny early one did but it kept going fine for about 30k after that, and was still going strong once i sold it. usual stuff really cambelts are expensive to swap as it is the 5 cylinder engine etc etc

try the www.vwt4forum.co.uk for info

That's dirt cheap, we just paid a fair whack more for an L reg 1.9d, granted it had a nice professional conversion inside. I'd bite his arm off (and I'm in south wales too so would be interested if your not!)
