Ford transit or ldv? - Reccomendatios

I know what ya mean about the extra 150mm in the back, i cant even get a tarmac rake in straight on, nobody tells ya that when yer buying it do they. a think the general consensus is to go with the cabstar then eh:0

Tony. go to www.tipmaster.co.uk, and scroll down the left hand menu and click on Swing lift crane.
Its designed to be in line with the ladder rack, and hardly takes any room, yet will lift up to 300kg

If you had a trailer, you'd only have to drag the wacker up and down it all the time, and the cost of the trailer is about the same as the above!

Just a thought

Has anybody any expeirience of Mitsubishi Canters, the 1 in question is an (s) reg and is for sale at £2150, speak now or forever hold thy breath:p

[lutonlagerlout]

from what i hear they are ok but a fair bit wider than the cabstar,so may not fit on to all domestic drives

(diesel at roughly 68p per litre in the Republic)

Cor! They've got it good over there!

[Tony McC]

Yeah, but VAT @ 21% and almost impossible to get a 3-bed house for less than 250 grand sterling (400 grand Euro)

Is the Canter that chunky 3.5 tonner or am I thinking of summat else? If it is, then it's a grand old yoke. The body will go long before the engine does.

cheers all, i'll just keep looking for a cabstar, like rocking horse pooh round these parts.
