DazC,
The LDV is cheaper for a reason Mark
yes its a stigma from transit drivers case LDV used to be really shit - even id admit that , and ( i know its hard to believe but) even slower than transits
but when the convoy came out using the good bits from the transits ( well nearly all) like the rear axle and gear box ( shame they used the engine

) the reliabilty became very good - mines now done 120k on same axle and box ,
Ohhh, nice fibreglass dash board!
yes its fibreglass , and a whole load better than the old styleeee , but do you really buy a van to look at the dash all day ??
the thing that was always better about the LDV was the load space , the transit developed a fookin stupid slant in at the top of the van

what was all that about ? so the load tapered at the roof , and no theyve gone back to the conventional van box shape like everyone else
and the transits have always bene shit on fuel
