I have a grafter 150 manual that I bought new in 2016 and had a custom chip box built... Touch wood it has been the most reliable machine I've ever owned 72k on the clock towing 95% of the time still on original brake pads and disks same clutch etc. Only issue I had was a broken nox sensor that cost £600 to replace. Good solid trucks expensive parts when they do go wrong. I think the dpf is coming to the end of its life and its around £1500 to replace! Don't bother with the extra money for the auto save your money and get manual... The new 1.9 engine 125bhp are crap when you are towing go for the 150, people are put off by the add blue etc which is peanuts to fill... 

Pros cheap truck "as they are trucks downplated 5.5 tonner for UK market" 

Robust

Reliable 

Work horse

 

Cons 

Noisy engine "who cares its for work" 

Expensive parts "hardly break" 

Will knock your fillings out of you drive over a pound coin. 

 

I'd deffo buy again

 

 

 

Could I ask, what wheelbase is that and how long is the chip box?
