FredTransit Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/SaveLDV/ You might have seen this on other forums, but I am posting this here as it's a worthy petition. Better we add support for the British workers, its about time the government helped out the true suffers of this recession - the manufacturers of BRITISH products not fat cat bankers Please sign up and help keep LDV alive
Ken B Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Think you're better off asking the Russian Billionaire who owns LDV to stick his hand in his pocket.........
Admin Vista Posted March 21, 2009 Admin Report Posted March 21, 2009 Think you're better off asking the Russian Billionaire who owns LDV to stick his hand in his pocket......... Many of the Russian Oligarchs don't actually have many of their billions left! Indeed those that are still considered Billionaires are largely only still billionaires in terms of the value of their assets, i.e. property rich but very cash strapped. What's more Putin is snapping at their heels looking to reclaim state assets that they bought cheaply in the early 90's. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/b ... 760128.ece http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/b ... 385693.ece

Ken B Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Having to drive a LDV occasionally albeit an ageing example, i fail to see to see how they ever sold any in the first place. When i found out they were owned by the Ruskies, it explained everything. Its like a Lada of the van world....

Couldnt have put it better meself I make a point of being first into work every morning so i get the keys to the transit crew cab as its sooo much better than the 3 LDVs and the Ranger and the Landie.
stevepeanut Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 why save ldv there shit let them go bust totally agree, if there was a demand for LDV vans they wouldnt be in trouble. If the government bail them out, they'll keep the factory going, and end up with a huge carpark full of hundreds/thousands of vans that no one wants to buy.
Fishtailparka Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 As a taxpayer and an owner of 3 LDV vans (why the feck we bought the second two I don't know) I vote they don't get saved. They are crap!!
duchy boy Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 My mate runs a fleet of them not the most up to date vans but they are reliable and keep going while his peugeot boxers keep smashing gearboxes and drive shafts, Iveco dailys keep blowing engine front and rear oil seals.
