03 90 T330 SWB,Is this the van for me??

Postby Fiji Racing » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:38 pm

Hello all, I have decided to buy a new van as my old K reg ex BT 120 SWB is a bit tired!!
Ive found a nice van but what with all these new models I don't know wether it's the right van for me or not?
It's an 03 reg 90 T330 2.4 Diesel SWB. Rear wheel drive apparently!
It's ex Hampshire police and is coloured red and white??
It looks like a lovely van and only has 40K on the clock,It will be my only vehicle and I will use it for my 2 German Sheperds,a 16 mile daily commute to work and back and also for Motocross racing at the weekends!
I know the dual mass flywheel is something iv'e heard a few negative comments about and an R.A.C fella told me the diesel pumps are also something to look out for??
Im going to view the van in a couple of days,any advice is very much appreciated!!
Cheers,Paul.... :D

The only concern I would have, is the fact that this is a high payload model and as such, expect the ride to be a bit on the bouncy side when there's no load in it :!:

It can carry in the region of 1.5 tonnes :!:

As it was owned by the police, the servicing should have been good and little or no chance of anyone having put veg oil through it's fuel pump to ruin it :wink:

Nice van and the RAC use the same spec with the tailgate option :D
