Hello all.
As with most of us these days dosh is tight. I've been thinking for a while to make a few pennies doing a van with a man type thing and set about looking for a van.
Initially I quite fancied a Hyundai H100, cheap parts, bomb proof engine (mitsy) and a renamed Bosch pump (Zexel) which is good for EN bio BUT alas they are about as common as hens teeth!
That brings me to my next choice which is the Sprinter. Found a reasonable 96 plate 312d but I don't know a thing about them especially where the engine is concerned. So just for the time being could anyone with a 312d model let me know what they think of this van, good and bad. I have to say I'm hugely neurotic about timing belts so to know how difficult these are to chance would be a good start.
One good thing is according to Biomotors the 312d will run 100% EN bio. Lovely Jubbly!
Much thanks. Bill
