Hey Chaser

Is there anyone that have all the cut sizes for like a pod fit out for furniture that I can just give to a workshop and they cut it all and I would put it together from there?

I suppose there is, but in mine I bought a caravan that had been damaged for £200 and took all the inside stuff out and fixed it in the van, we have a full shower toilet,cooker and fridge , massive bed but we do have to fold it up if we need to sit inside but it is about a minutes job.
My son has a fiat and built his from scratch but still got in it same as me.
We also have a Renault just like yours but the lad that was going to do it has got a bit sidetracked, but he has got a bed and shower in it.
Edit btw we have kept all the original roof cupboards in all three.

Sorry to hear of the hassle you’re having. I know you’ve mentioned there was no warranty, but have you tried the good will approach with the seller. You never know, they might just have an heartbeat. You would have a least expected it to get you home.

There are a couple of Lawyers (I nearly said retired) but like doctors Lawyers never retire. They may just be able to provide a few crumbs of advice. Good Luck whatever you decide.
And don’t forget once you get started on the build, we all love to see lots of piccys

It all happened pretty quickly tbh looked in mirror see smoke pulled over I’d just filled up with diesel as I pulled over the smoke came in the cab after a few hours and moving the van I thought it was a turbo oil pipe that had split so I called around found one in Swindon got my Machanic to drive from London to Swindon and then onto wales when he got there he said it’s not that it’s coming out the head gaskets so it’s currently in a carpark and we’re looking into options to repair up there or recover - no returns sold as seen

Where is it ? There a good van repair place near me ...in Wales

No just merthyr all car auctions ate a risk but emergency service vehicles are usually a good bet

There's always an exception unlucky

No just merthyr all car auctions ate a risk but emergency service vehicles are usually a good bet

Only if the emergency service vehicle is being placed in the auction by the actual emergency service ...... Otherwise it should be a red flag ...

Of course it could just be really bad luck, which we all get once in a while ...

The auction in merthyr disposes of many emergency vehicles. They are usually leased rhey also move on the disabled/hospital transport

Used vehicles are always a risk . Saying that reading about new vehicles on here that's can also be a gamble

If it comes up as compliant, thats all you need to know.
Recently my nephew put a private plate on a 04 Caddy van, which was non compliant.
Now, with the plate change, it is.
