EX RAC Transits from MVS Sales

[sirrobertknolles]

Hello,

I am thinking about getting a Ex RAC van from MVS Sales near sheffield. Has anyone brought one of these vans and are they good value. And what are MVS like to deal with.

We had a look at one and was concerned that they had been standing around for a long time. Any tips or experiences with these vans would be much appreciated.

and what should l know about Duel Mass Flywheel, are these vans likly to suffer from this failing ?

thanks

I think you should try a search as there are many links talking about him ( he is good apparently) but for me he seems to deal in totty vans so no good to me
oh and they tend to be orange

Iv got one, looked OK, had been resprayed (they all are) Top company to deal with (they sponsor a section on here)

Only bad point with the rac is the servicing isnt as good as it should be, you will got a service history print out

and Niel, you can have them sprayed any colour you want

Only thing iv done is serviced it and changed the timing chain tentioner and guides (about £250) you will know if it needs them because it will rettle when started from cold, everything else is just mods,

Put it this way me dad see it and now he is going to be trading his MK5 in for one

Here are some pics the day it came, they dont do it justice thou

wow it did look nice!

they only spray the bumpers ordinarily they will spray entire van for £4-500 depending on your requirments. i have asked elsewhere about the clutch and flywheel and was told once replaced with a new one should be fine, is that right if not is it possible to say what life they have. thanks for any replies.

mate with the rac they are normaly well maintained , i dont think you will have many problems!

No they dont, mine was sprayed all over and they do them all to get the sticker marks off, it was all included in the price

As for the bumpers, the later RAC vans dont have orange bumpers anyway

[tarmac duck]

with respect mark there is a post on here that sugests otherwise, with regard to air filters at least.

I have to dissagree, depends how good the local dealer is, as there maintained by the dealer where the driver lives, mine was a bad one with regards to certain things

[tarmac duck]

guy they qiute categorically do not respray every van please ask chris tommorrow. the later vans to which you refer to my knowledge are not on sale at mvs.

[madmark]

well the rac transits that go into my dealership get everything, and the fiters there would nevermiss changeing the filters!

[madmark]

only black bumpers on the later mk7 models unless they have been painted!
when i spoke the the lady at the rac she said they went back to not colour codeing the bumpers because they were £500 a time so they had aircon instead!
