the epic is good if you get a good one :wink:

i had a lwb auto with ac but the box started to play up ,this wasnt a problem till i looked undernieth the van and wow it was rusting like nothing i had ever seen so it was sold very quickly ,shame as it was a rare van with all the options! :(
1999 v reg :(


Well I tried very hard to stay emotionally distant to this one, cos love turns the eye blind even to the deepest rot... (I love my Lolaaaa :lol: ) :roll: But I have to admit it's very comfy to have the automatic transmission and the turbo. The box will be coming out for an upgrade, hopefully avoiding trouble for a while after that :lol:

But decided not to for now... Lola drives soooo lovely and she's very economical on long runs, I don't want to disturb that. 8)

:P And then and then and then ..... my camera died :roll:

AndyG came and gave full service to my A4LD gearbox 8) 8) . So my spare box received all the attention any gearbox might possibly want and it's ready to go in to replace the slipping gearbox that's in the van at the moment. Thank you AndyG :!: 8) 8) 8) You make it seem sooo easy :!:

So the next step is gearbox swap... at some point... hoping before North Weald :twisted: :lol: :lol:
