--------------------------------------

This is my partially converted camper van project. I ran out of money while converting it. But it works well as a base that you can put on a camp site or as an off grid place to sleep while wild camping.

The van is well maintained. I service it myself yearly. Two oil filter changes per year, air filter before MOT and an oil change). It had a complete new exhaust last year. Timing belt and water pump were done shortly after I bought it in 2021. I put new brake shoes on the offside back wheel this year before MOT and I did the front pads two years ago. Gearbox fluid was changed when i bought it. MOT is next due 02/05/2026 (10 months left).

MOT History: www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=LN06OHZ

It’s done about 5000 miles per year since I bought it, but exact mileage is unknown as the light bulb for the LCD odometer failed a couple of months after I bought it. I was told since it’s an LCD you can shine a torch through from the back to work it out but I haven’t managed to do that. The mileage doesn’t seem to be available using an OBD scanner either. When I bought it, it had done roughly 163,000 miles. I’ve done roughly 20,000 more.

It contains a bed that was designed to allow a PortaPotti 365 to be placed under it. It has basic 12V electrics, such as, 12V battery, split charge relay, 100W solar panel, 10A dual output controller (30% goes to the vehicle battery, 70% to the leisure battery), one strip light (connected to the vehicle battery) and two bulkhead lights (currently unconnected), a 12V fan, two USB chargers and a dual cigarette lighter socket. There is an additional 8.5mm2 wire running from the battery area to the other side of the van that could be used for a diesel heater or water pump if you wanted to add one.There is also a Vango double hob gas cooker that uses screw top gas cartridges (such as the ones sold at Home Bargains for £2 a can) and a small sink which I have never really used (since most camp sites have washing facilities and I carry a bowl so I can wash pots outside if I need to).

Like all vans of this age it has corrosion in places. I tried to head this off when I first bought it by cleaning up all rust patches I could find, painting with rust stabiliser and then putting a couple of coats of hammerite over them and anything else that might rust, namely the sills, pillars and some other parts of the underside. It’s an ongoing maintenance job. I have never had an MOT fail or advisory due to corrosion.

Issues

- There is a power steering fluid leak somewhere on the low pressure hosing, that developed a couple of months back. I have tried to find it, but without any luck. So for now I top the fluid up when needed.
- When driving it is necessary to hold the gear stick in place when using the first, second and reverse gears. If you don’t you hear a whirring noise. I’m told there is a small catch in the gearbox that wears out over time that holds the gears in place. If not it might be the cable between the stick and the gearbox that has stretched over time. Fixing it was beyond my budget and my mechanic skills are not at that level. If yours are and you have facilities to do it, it might be possible to fix it. So far my workaround has been to hold the stick in place while in those gears and I’ve had no issues while doing so. In third, fourth or fifth it isn’t an issue.
- The windscreen has several fixed chips. It did when I bought it. It’s never been flagged on the MOT. I’m told because they aren’t in the direct field of view.
- The internal fan/blower system doesn’t work. I think it’s the switch and I will try and get the switch off and see if I can fix it in the next week.
- The brakes are noisy at times, but it’s passed every MOT without any braking issues. I asked the garage that did the MOT and they said they didn’t notice anything when testing.
- The driver side, side door doesn’t fully seal. I tend to use a wedge to hold the top of the door in. The issue is the top roller is worn. I got quoted £50 for a new roller, which I obviously won’t pay because it’s extortionate for a small piece of plastic. You could probably 3D Print a new one if you have access to a printer
- The radio doesn’t work.
- Drivers side, side door deadlock works, but doesn’t hold the door. The bracing plate on the door is missing. Since I wasn’t going to use it I never got another plate for it.

Other things

1. There is a three bar roof rack for the van that will be included.
2. I will throw in some spares with the van. There are a set of front brake pads, a spare brake shoe for the back brakes and a set of discs for the front brakes. Also some fluids, oil and a can of gas.
3. There is an awning rail on the driver side that could be used with a drive away awning or sun shelter/awning. I put it on originally intending to buy a drive away awning, but never got one in the end.

Sorry to see it go, how comes you're selling up?

kenbw2 · 2025-06-17 18:43:23

Hey you've almost got the same kitchen setup as me

Honestly the height inside is a big chunk of the reason. So I have my eye on a slightly damaged ex post office Expert mk2, so i'm not really selling up, more of an upgrade type affair, assuming it's still available after I've sold it. Same engine, same pretty much everything, but the roof in the back is somewhat higher and I think the van is slightly longer. I think in these vans it would amount to a LWB, medium roof, not that a LWB Expert is as long as probably a SWB transit, but I think the load length in the LWB MK2 is maybe a foot longer than my current one. It would be nice to be able to stretch out when sleeping. Right now my head is pretty much against the back doors and my feet in the back of the passenger seat. When i sit on the bed I have to lean forward or my head hit's the roof. It's one of the reasons I did minimal insulation on the roof.

In terms of everything it's a solid van and if I had the skill set of JohnDragonMan or some of the rest of you, plus the workshop and tools, I would have taken it off the road and dropped the gearbox and fixed it. But I don't have the kit for it, nor the knowledge/experience. I can do most basic mechanical tasks, but i'm happy to admit when it's beyond my level (timing belts, engine issues, etc). I should have sold it last year, but I left it too late and (tbh) after shelling out the best part of a grand to get it through MOT I wanted to get a years use out of it. But it's time for it to become someone else's project. smile

Next one will be upgraded beyond my current spec. A new project, with new higher specs. I want something that is Arctic capable for a start, so i can go hit Norway. The current one would need a lot of changes to make it to that spec. Which is another reason to sell it and get a new blank canvas.

That sounds like a worthy upgrade. If there were an XUD LWB Mk2 I think I'd be making the jump too. Those straight side walls give so much more space.

Agreed. I'm happy to hobby around doing stuff, but I'm more than happy to pay a professional to take the stress and time when it matters

Sounds like quite the project, I look forward to your posts. The insulation will be impressive if nothing else!

I hope so. He wanted a van for his girlfriend and himself to use for holidays. Sad to see it go in some ways, it's been a part of my life for the last four years. The next one will come in October/November. Until then I'm on my bike. smile
