Good afternoon all.
Thought I'd say hi as I've been looking around on here for a while, so hi!
I'm in Norfolk, but not from here!
Not long ago I purchased a 2001 LWB RWD 125PS T350 crew cab which I knew needed a little TLC but for the price I'm happy with her for what I need. The plan is to use the back van section as a tool and spares storage area with a little work bench and the front as a sort of mini camper, nothing serious, just enough to spend a night or 2 in if required with some basic cooking gear.
The van is going to be used to tow one of my sprint cars and as such won't be used all that much, hence not spending alot for something that's going to be unused for much of the year.
I've given her a service, fitted a new clutch slave cylinder as I ballsed up refitting the old one.l also fitted a new door handle and bonnet latch/lock.
Plans are to tart up the outside and do the semi camper conversion.
She seems a little low on power atm, going to pull the inlet off and give that a clean and look at blanking the egr to see if that helps. I'll also look at the waste gate to see if that's seized. Hopefully that solve it, if not I'll dig a bit further.
Suggestions in anything else are welcome aswell.
I'll keep you all updated in progress as I go, may even take some pics along the way.
Thanks for reading
Regards
Phil
