Darren-B Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I was delivered a Hire van yesterday after some prat drove into the side of my van on Friday whilst it was parked. A high top, long wheelbase merc sprinter, with all the toys. It`s practically brand new, on a 62plate, with only 380 miles on the clock. After a quick inspection with the delivery driver, all seemed to be ok until I took a look down the side for door dings etc. I then realised that the entire drivers side of this panel van had been replaced So I insisted that this was noted. Well it handles like a rental, takes corners well, warms up quick in the morning & the suspension takes speed bumps like a Boss. TC can be switched off & it`s RWD. White van man, king of the road. But it does make you wonder the hidden history of some vehicles, even new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Had a rental transit for sofa moving duties last week. I don't think either the gearbox or engine really liked my "white van man" driving style. Had a lot of fun taking it an early morning blast round the twisties - I imagine it was the first time this particular transit had been treated to the joys of heel-toeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 90% of ford transits fresh off the production line have to have major bodywork or repairs done to them before they leave the factory so it could be a genuine factory repair unless its a different colour.....
