just bought an ldv !!

[combined tree services]

hiya guys i have just bought an x reg ldv 3.5 ton tipper , its in great condition and cab is verry clean . the only problem is that it is non turbo . i was just wondering if any of you have one or have had one . the reason i have bought it is because i am sick of transits , i currently have an 08 plate transit and im not impressed with it and will not be having another one !!

 

IMO a 3k tipper will do just what a 19 k tipper !!!

why not just use the cabstar? thought you had one of them lying about?

Ahhh! ha! and Brian was taking the pee out of mine the other day, battle wagons they are, just dont expect to go up a hill in 3rd with 2 tons of mulch on, er make it 2nd actually mines a crew cab!

rthe problem i have found with the cab star is that they do not carry as much chip and they are poo if you so much as park them on a grass verge they get stuck . plusthere is not enough room in the cab for 2 men let alone 3 and some wet weather gear

ha ha , i saw it and thought what the hell it will do , all i thought of was the money i will be saving lol plus there will be no risk of a speeding ticket whilst towing the chipper any more

3K seems a lot for an X reg, mate of mine bought a very clean Y reg 3 years ago for £2,200.

this one has a full service history and milleage but yeah i would have liked to go u to the midlands and bought a truck as commercials down here seem to fetch funny money .

The engine hasn’t got a turbo for good reason – it’ll blow up!

 

We had an LDV once, used it for two days and then went back to a transit - Never again.

[Simon Rotheram]

It will probably do you for 12 months - I dont think they are designed for the abuse arborists give them.

 

We brought one cheap at the start of a contract and it gradually self imploded, ended up buying a transit 12 months later and sold the LDV for scrap . Lost £3k in a year as it had no resale value!!

[Steve Bullman]

considering the ldv has the same engine and gearbox as the transit i dont see how anyone can say an ldv will blow up and a transit wont! the refinements are better on a transit, granted.....but value for money, unless you are particularly worried about resale value has to go to ldv.
