Price drop to 2,500 for a bargain

Considering the increase in petrol prices, and the current economic situation, now is the perfect time to buy an environmentally friendly and cheap to run vehicle, and guess what I have one for sale!!!fancy that, since Ive bought a massive Mercedes 308 this has to go, with regret
Im selling my 1997 1.9TD VW Transporter with elsbett professional vegetable oil conversion kit(1,000EUR) these kits are factory installed into BMW's so are top notch, not to mention 79cents a litre from your local lidl, or cheaper if you can get used oil, or cash an carry. The van has 108,000 miles, and runs sweet as a nut, it had timing belt done two months ago, and service, tyres are 80% brakes are good, brand new injectors

New timing belt Kit
New alternator belt
New power steering belt
New front discs
New front pads
New Back shoes
New rear springs
New Fuel pump

The van is fully serviced and has been serviced regularly.

It has a captains chair and a remote alarm/immobiliser

it has no leaks and the turbo is perfect

The professionally fitted ply lining is perfect as the van has only been used for light work.

The body is very good but does have a few small dings

the paintwork on the van is 90% perfect apart from a few small areas where dings were repaired and the correct paint was used over them but it does not match perfectly, however a good wax and youd hardly notice

It has a rear security screen

The cab interior is perfect, good as new and there are no marks or holes any where.

A platform has been built in the back for a single mattress with lots of storage underneath, and room inside for bikes. I use it to go away for weekends, take my bike and boards, and all my gear, and sleep inside so its well organised

The van to date including conversion kit has cost me 4,000 euro, if you are interested in the van Id advise you to come and look, and we can talk about money. my number is 0863027560

heres some pics, still for sale as well, oh and some more info
for sale is a 1997 swb white 1.9TD Transporter, fully ply lined to perfection, with bed and storage in the back. It has been partially converted to run on vegetable oil, with new injectors,glow plugs and return lines already fitted, I also have the rest of the kit ready to be installed, it is an elsbett professional kit, which are also factory fitted to BMWs which cost 1000euro 6 months ago, since then I have paid
300euro to have injectors redone and fitted, including glowplugs and lines.
250 euro on new fuel pump
250 new timing belt
90 euro new battery

Im looking for 3,500 euro firm as it owes me alot more than that. Van can be sold without kit if requested. The T4 runs and drives like a car and is very comfortable.


van is very clean apart from a cracked headlight, which has the special tape on it, passed its test like that so is fine, and a few scrapes on one rear wheel arch as the missus caught it on a gate, not take much to fix it though
