Was in a hurry to get to somewhere before they shut to drop a tractor part off 130 sat at 70 on dual carriage way for over 6 miles without any troubles, then a Ford ranger towing a ifor passed me, he must of been hitting 80 as he disappeared into the distance. 

Would've been poetic justice to see it parked on top of the chevron sign at the next roundabout, with the ifor's hitch poking out from where the gearstick should have been. Some peeps don't even consider or remember there's a trailer behind them

Our 130 has come back with a big old list and quote of around £3k to get through its MOT:  Still drives like it always has, a boat. Pretty scruffy inside and out.  Its a 2005 TD5 with only 110K miles and we have maintained it mechanically servicing every year.

We need a 4x4 but only as a back up and occasional work and could probably manage without a tipper although is useful.

 

Would you sell as is and let someone else tart it up? Whats it worth? (£6-8K??)  And buy something more modern.

Patch it up for £3k and carry on running as is.

Go full on restoration on it, galv chassis etc.. What would that cost (£5-10K?)

What are you going to buy anything good is going to be 15k plus and then some

rebuild new chassis and bulkhead then you can carry on using for next twenty years until they ban diesel!

[woody paul]

Sounds like you should of had a good look over it and done some of the minor stuff then they may have not pointed out stuff like bump stops which don't come into the mot. 

[Canal Navvy]

Go for the full rebuild on the company account, use carefully for a few years, write the value down on the books and then sell it to yourself at a low value 😉

 

If you dont like driving it as a personal vehicle it would sell well for a camper conversion on its new chassis 😁

Hell of a list, much of that should have been picked up earlier, but i do like the 'minor oil leak' 😆 ( factory fitment) K
