@@ianwheeler7903 Good to hear! Wet belt failure is VERY expensive! As a matter of interest, what happens when a Transit campervan needs welding for MOT, bearing in mind the loadspace area will be mostly covered with wood?
@@humourless682 Hi, To be truthful, I don't think that I am going to convert this van into a camper due to its age. I will probably just use it as work vehicle instead.
@@ianwheeler7903 Must be a nightmare if you have a Transit camper, and MOT/welding time rolls around again? Never been able to see the attraction of old Transits myself..................lol
@@humourless682 The reason, I thought about converting it in the first place was that it was a cheap van. I was then planning a budget build. I was going to sell it on for someone to enjoy for a few years to get them into campervans. I'm just going to use it for work for now as it has 12 months MOT on it.
Van looking better already. Its alot of work stripping everything out
It certainly is Denise. It has been a challenge dealing with the mechanical bits, but it is to be expected with a 15 year old van.
...👍👍
Read up about "wet belts" before going ahead, and if your van has one, get it removed and replaced with a chain...............
Hi, Its an old van with a timing chain. I would not buy any vehicle with a wet belt even if you paid me. Thanks for your interest.
