Show me your bike vans

hmmm – steve did you sell the mondeo btw? if so – how much did ya get?

Hope this thread is still running when my van comes back ready for bike duties 🙂

I've still got it at the mo, have been away so much with work I've not had much time to get rid of it. Will shift it at some point. As I'm unemployed after xmas reckon i'll be off down the auction to buy a few vans to sell on then and will probably get a traders policy and use whatevers lying around as my car!

Buy Mine![/url]

It's an Iveco, not quick but stately, and very good for dirty weekends away.

keep me in the loop re vans

Nah your alright moses, I've already got one like that but longer 🙂

Will do rob. If you're looking after xmas give me some criteria and I'll find something for you if you like.

i had a well used short wheelbase transit, until today.
gearbox died 146k on the clock, £900 for a new gearbox….worth more than the van…
so we got a longwheelbase sprinter from the auctions with 50k on the clock.
mint condition and only use for carrying foam rolls in the back.
will make a nice mobile home for biking weekends.

Ton- how much did you pay, and was it a hi-top?

steve – will you be able to "help" with the mondeo?

Essentially i have 3-4k for the right van
must be diesel
new as poss
service history
no gremlins
moon on a stick
hiace/transporter size
crew cab would be cool
no bulk head as it will need a rear seat for the bambino
insulated/boarded an advantage

Yeah probably be able to sort something out for you with the car. Bulk heads aren't a problem as everyone I can think of is removable. You're very unlikely to get an insulated one but also unlikely to get one unlined/boarded.

How desperate are you to change the car to a van? What's wrong with this mondeo?

Nowt wrong with the mondeo – just i am "allowed" a van now 🙂

After xmas would be cool

can you email me £?

I started an Iveco Daily forum last week as there doesn't seem to be any one place to help fix/fault find. The closest to a forum I've found is a thread on a job search forum with 291 posts with various problems and fixes!

Feel free to post your van in the For Sale section…its a bit quiet but new members every day so far.

Had better include the link…

Hi,

This is my van, only had it 2 months. 1999 T4 1.9td. Currently a standard van but I have almost finished deciding on the interior spec and will start work on that over Christmas. Use it everyday, regular 38mpg and comfy with Saab front seats.

Regards,
Matt.

Rob Rob Rob…

A 'dub is the way forward mate, you know it makes sense. Good lookin' bit of kit, bombproof engine (so long as its serviced) … SOTS' old van carted him +2 + 7 bikes + kit to les pretend in the alps every year.

Keep an eye on the VZI forums – maybe stick a post up?

jt

as soon as I figure out how to post pics properly I'll try again 😕

Finally 🙂

good effort hairymechanic on posting pics and on a mint looking landie, I've never seen one so clean 😉

August 08, at the Chiemsee, southern Germany. Four bikes, four of us, four months. (REwind!)

Why all the Dubs

Clamp to hold forks.

can we please have some pics of hi-ace vans pleeeease 😀

i feel like i killed this thread!
post more

my bongo

very nice – cost?

about £6500 with the interior conversion

Ford Transit, long wheel base holds 9 bikes & has 9 seats, perfect for clubs or bike companies.

citroen dispatch – anyone got one?

I reckon this thread will still be alive when my van comes back next week 🙂 Todays conversion fun was the gulper pump requirement!!

citroen dispatch – anyone got one?

I have a Fiat Scudo, pretty much the same van. I have the one with the seats in the back. Really good fuel economy, averaged about 40mpg fully loaded with bikes and camping gear while driving around Europe this summer.

pics with bikes in?

What is the payload size in a dispatch/scudo/expert?

Wondering if i could create a space in the back based around an Amdro conversion kit (or similar) – what other options are there??

Ahh I do miss my Bongo. We must keep this thread alive so forge197 can post pics of his conversion!

Sorry, Dispatches are w**k. We've got some at work. Good size, but thta's about it. Price says it all. Luckily they gave me a Caddy TDi. Infinitely better. Just a tad short. I'd go for LWB if I had the choice, But I don't so can't. Managed to fit 2 bikes in next to the Van Vault. They're just a bit pricey though.

Can't do pics as it's sign written.

some friends potential team van pre Morvelo makeover……

I think that's the top trump.

but it's not mine 🙁

101 FC FTW!

wtf?

Hairy, if yours is a V8 with LPG conversion you have my dream car…

Pics of mine to follow once I've got roind to building the bed and bike rack. It's bit different, but built on a budget (when fully loaded the bikes inside will be about 4 times the price of the truck)

whats yours?

101s ROCK! Would love one!

We must keep this thread alive so forge197 can post pics of his conversion!

Quite amazed the thread is still running truth be told!!

Those 101's remind of the mad machines at UK BikePark not sure what was more fun travelling in their vehicles or the trails.
