Very well meant, noted, thank you!

Daaadh!, is she going to come back one day?

The "crime against common sense" committed, she's being torn to shreds as we speak.
Someone, with facilities for could've made in parts approx:

Tires (wheels) x4- ~£100
x6 doors in varied condition ~£200
Internal blower fan replaced about x2 years ago, but van done 4k miles since- ~£30
Starter about a month old "top quality" 1.7KW WAI- ~£40
Original (replaced Valeo) headlights (mint) x2 - ~60
Yuassa Battery about x4 years old (mint) -~£30?
Original Clarion radio- ~£10?
super heavy duty roof rack (paid £120)- ~£40
bare engine DW8 145k miles- ~£300
seats in poor condition x2+x1- ~£20

perhaps something else (like plastics, shafts, gear box etc)- £100

AND leftover metal for scrap perhaps - ~£100

Ah well, shall treasure what good memories I had

Onwards and upwards!

ahh, nope!
it's got sticky Velcro thingies, that hardly touch, hence opens once in a while

Front driver (RHS) mount/stump knackered, (wishbone replaced last year), new available at £45 + labour... but to get used one with ABS and "Bigger holes" for calliper is like to find hens teeth. Mind you couple of months ago, seen one for ridiculous £65, didn't get it, kinda regret it now

Rear bottom seals patched up with resin (badly), needs welding... or more gunk on it and hidden.

And possibly something else more, but lad that I've taken in for pre-MOT check up, might have found something- anything, didn't print nothing pointing out rust on "rear of the van" (meant seals up to jacking points) and that I need to change the mount firstly, before bring it back to him...   think what you want, he just wanted to create work for himself, not what I've taken her in for.... but mechanics this way- some sort off alien breed, haven't found anyone that I'd want to use again or recommend to anyone.

Some of us have steering wheel controls and our radio's have mixed up power connection cables
("posh stuff")

FFS, post your VIN here, beware that old wifes tale says you might end up cloned transformed etc etc ... I'll look it up for you.

Just like

This

brave man!

Mainly is. I've seen the correct hub on FleaBay, but I knew the rust to be 5he end of her

They are, it's a shame where I live "mechanics" are as bad/lazy and as expensive as they are

My bad, Farnham Surrey/Hampshire borders.

The reg is PE54VFZ, mileage is about 150 miles, full of all sorts of crap ATM, gonna try to empty after the docs appointment later on in the day and will post more about it.
To a someone keen on it and able perhaps possible to fix her up, but I'm inclined to use her as donor and I would, but nowhere to park, especially if to start stripping bits off.

Forgotten to mention real industrial style roof-rack, that had x10 sheets of plasterboard, x14 4"x8" x4.8m ~ 500kg and did 20 miles (+with all the tools inside) at one stage few years ago and held up in one piece.

IMHO that autodoc is "chinese style" trade set-up, as it comes to car parts, nothing hardly is going to fit. Their parts fiche is so bad, it's waste of time.
I'd need VIN or reg at least, but for the money quoted for a window motor - I bet I'd find suitable well and long lasting alternative, if not original replacement

Eurocarpart and gsf.parts do superfast deliver options, car reg is needed yo double check part suitability

VIN is on V5 too, but that's gonna be a task for sometimes later, if not for after the opp now... Sorry
(Off to hospital tonight/tomorrow, repairs on the bodge done on one of the knees on Monday,  so it's frightening amount of shit to do beforehand.)

Or punch in yourself, then be careful selecting absolutely identical one for spec, then there are sites that will give you correct "aftermarket"  parameters etc. Once again it is the damn intelligent regulator chip, that makes or brakes whole deal, and thank fudgge, it's not programable like most of the rest of bits and bobs

Why (good mechanics) only happen (to everyone else) but me?

I swear, you are rubbing in deliberately 

On a serious note, congrats, lucky you!

Wish I didn't learn to NOT to touch cars in early 2000's...
Basically, with almost no tools it taken me whole day of sweat and tears and bruises and swearing and drilling and filling and all sorts to replace brake discs, pads and shoes on the rear for a "water- drop" Vauxhall Astra... next year took to a mechanic and had the same job done in 40 min flat, no rush, no stress at a measly £25 them days (£50 in todays money), then I changed the car and had a "fighter jet" SAAB 900 2.2 Turbo and attempted to replace CV boot... bruh!... ended getting mechanic to come over to "finish" the job in a sense that I had drive shaft falling out and damaging all sorts right in the middle of Landan... (one little spring clip fallen out, most likely due to not noticing position where the "cut" for the circumference was for the end off), couldn't even get it tow to get to his. Bless the old boy, "blessing" being £350 (£700 in todays money).
Never since I'll do anything, without being 100% sure I'll be able to complete confidently, but "mechanics" (rip-off monkey wrenches) these neck of the woods making me think twice about all of that lately
