Who cares what you've started...........You have got the best avatar.

 

'Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras. '

 

Thanks tommer

Peter sellers makes me cry with laughter everytime I see one of his films.....legend!!!

not fast ???Had mr bullman cane past me in his ldv down the 505... left my heap of transit for dust!

 

i dunno whats wrong with everyone elses ldv's...mine does 80 and doesnt struggle to get there either!

[welwell]

I can 70 at a squeeze. I think I've heard before that they have different gear ratios on different trucks. You obviously have the Le Mans option!!!

Me too, but what a film.....

mines a 98 plate, one of the first batch that went over to the transit engines i believe>

 

only real problem i have had with mine in the past has been loss of power, but that was eventually traced to the injectors, and its a common fault. so if your ldv is a little gutless it might be worth replacing these.

I'm just geting rid of mine, and going over to a transit, Its just too gutless to tow a 1.5 ton chipper and a load. Not been a bad truck though.

[Rupe]

1.5 ton chipper OR a load might be better!

[Mesterh]

If your gonna tow a 1.5 ton chipper and a all day you may want something bigger than a transit

 

Transits and ldv have the same engines and they are both doged by the same problems. Not knocking them since the mercs and canters also have poor engines.

[Tom D]

The ldv I have now appears to have 76 Hp where as the transit that I am getting will have 115Hp, this should make a big difference. I cant vouch for the newer LDV's as I haven't tried them but when I had the 6" chipper which weighed less then a ton it towed a lot better.
