air gun ant 1,666 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Lol cheers lads I might take him up on it then? I don't care what it looks like so long as it will run, fetch, carry and tow. What they like for towing? I need to be able to tow a decent weight occasionally, and up steep hills (slipways) occasionally? I know it's never gonna be a landy but are they quite torque'y?

northern lad 2,293 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 8 years with the same Sprinter,in all that time it had a clutch ,tyres and brakes done.....bomb proof I had 8 years and 45,0000 out of my t4 2.4 non turbo .only thing really was set of tyres ,exhaust ,brake calliper and a starter ,no clutch needed.though I think it was low ,when I sold it. If Sprinters are still regarded as a top van today then they have certainly stood the test of time.....i had a yard of vans nearly 15 years ago selling 3 Sprinters to every 1 Renault/Tranny/Citreon etc.....best large van ever made in my opinion. ,its better than what we have here After owning the sprinter 3 or 4 yrs I decide it was time for a new van as it was staring to look a bit scabby...went into Vauxhall to look at a deal on 2 vivaros,when the sales guy came over it turned out to be a bloke I went to school with,"Do yourself a favour Dave,either get a new merc or keep what you've got theres nowt better here" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
