Mr Sam Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 i want something cheap and boring to last me though winter so the fiesta can come off the road hopefully for a new front end, just need a few opinions on these as theres one down the road very cheap dont know about t&t but it has escos style 5 spokes its faded red, nothing a little satin black couldnt sort apart from every day understandlable wear and tear is there anything to look out for on them??? if its still there come payday im seriously tempted!
jamesmk1 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 if it has not had a cambelt, i would put a new one on first thing as mine went and snaped the cam.
bob wiggins Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 these have two belts a cam belt and a pump belt you have to change them both not that hard to do,good vans mr Sam ive had a few the later the better
over_head_cam Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Also, look out for the rear crossmember, they rot. Any knocking from the front when you drive along is prob the bottom arms, but they're quite cheap I've got an old N reg, ex BT and she's good as gold. Good heater too, but no power steering

JAY PS Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Watch out for the sills rusting as well . They are a bit slow compared with modern stuff but plenty of scope to make a bit different I used to buy shed loads of BT vans and none of them came back to bite me ! Heres one i built earlier !
