MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Dutch 68]

My offer still stands Tam, I can even up the offer a bit, I can include a full suspension Giant mountain bike ( hefty price tag item) so all your wheels would be sorted

I am home tomorrow afternoon, so you could be sorted quick

 

[Gina M]

So sorry your buyer let you down Tam. You have been so stressed out trying to get the bloody van ready. But now you can breathe and get maybe another 5 grand for Moby as chaser says. Onwards and upwards Tam

 

[Northernraider]

Advert is back on classifieds.

 

[Mikey RV]

Gutted for you Tam.Hopefully another buyer will be along soon.

 

[Barclaybasher]

If anyone wants to know just how good Mobilvettas of this age are - just ask!

Had mine 6 years - brilliant !!

You don't need luck Tam - it's a great van

Still a couple of Grand too cheap, peeps will think there’s summat wrong with it

Moby looks really good!

It’s a lovely van but it is 1998, if you price it too high you are in danger of not getting any interest whatsoever.

He’s put a bit on compared to previous advert I think it’s priced about right, with a bit of movement for an offer.

True but there’s fiat fwd brit vans that age for sale around that age for that and more, which haven’t had the extensive work that moby has had and therefore lots of potential remedial work to be done by an unsuspecting buyer!
At least with moby all should be good from the off!
And of course there’s the famous 10 yr guarantee on the electrics from Lenny HB got to be worth a bit more

Guarantee null & void if any electrics are switched on.

All done and dusted. Readings on all brakes now off the scales. And perfectly balanced which I was surprised at. But that's it another 12 months and no advisories

No Ducati ?

No Ducati ?

Don't encourage him

Yes that’s the offer but I added another two wheeler so Tam can have it all

What a feckin pain in the arse this is now.

So Jackie is still alright with me parking moby up.there to sell but she's got plans for the weekend and most of next week as she has friends visiting etc so she can't drive me back from hers to hengoed to collect the Flair.. its too far and not the best road to do it on the scooter so trying to figure that out.


And I'm having trouble sorting batteries out for the Flair too. The lithium fogstar eco i was going to buy aren't available till 25th October. So I'd decided to revert back to 2 x 80ah exide gels from tayna batteries but they're temporarily out of stock ... why Is the universe feckin me about again .

Tayna must have at least a hundred competitors Tam, surely you must be able to order them from somewhere, have a browse, same with the lithiums you want, they are going to be on a shelf waiting for you somewhere? Or maybe install them in a alternative space then you can buy whatever size and don’t have to worry

I can't know how easy it is to relocate the batteries till I pick it up .

Garry has one battery here I'm going to borrow to get me some power in it when I pick it up but every other place I've found with batteries seems to be a good bit more expensive.

 

[Just smiffy]

Has anyone got any batteries from Cornwall to Wales going cheep…?

Can the guy with the flair not get you some batteries and you just pay him when you collect it. Being a dealer he must have lots of contacts.

Yeah I asked him that last week .. but his supplier wants 400 quid for the same ones I can get from tayna for 300. Lots of batteries available at dearer prices ...I'm just reluctant to pay over the odds for them

I've got 2 105Ah batteries in good condition, Tam is welcome to borrow them until he get sorted out with Lithium bateries.

Because you did something really bad in a past life and now the Gods are after you

[namwaldog]

Tam,
Perhaps I am taking too simplistic a view here,( if so, apologies)....
Is there no room where the Flair has been standing whilst on sale that you can park alongside for say, a week whilst you sort the Flair out, transfer everything across from Moby to the Flair, then set up the Moby for any viewings, sale and handover.

Perhaps offer the owner of the Flair some work cleaning his caravans etc in exchange.

Again, apologies if I have missed something obvious!

Well done to you all getting Moby sorted

 

[bigtree]

If you're going to spend £300 on Gels, why not buy a Fogstar 105ah from Offgrid ? Remember you get 10% discount via Fun.

 

[Phill D]

It’s a pity I’m not at home Tam ( I’m in a very wet Scotland!)
I have a serviceable exide 85ah gel that I replaced with a 120ah exide gel.
It’s a few years old needs a charge but would have been ok as a stop gap.
I live about 20+ miles from hengoed unfortunately this is all useless information at the moment.

Except if you do want it I would arrange for someone to be at home for you to collect it.

Just PM

Thanks very much for that ,very kind of you. I'm hoping tayna gets the exide gels back in stock soon and I'll replace them with those for now as the lithium battery I was interested in isn't available till end of October but I'll be heading back to Europe start of November.
