Got a 4 year old Deisel Transit MWB med high roof (had it from new) just after 68,000 miles it burnt out crown of a piston, new engine fitted. Apparently the 2.4 Duratorque engine is known for it. Had some bits done while it was in, result,,,,£3.5k bill. Ouch.

Purchased a Renault Master DC22 (ex British Gas) from a guy on Ebay. Excellent vehicle, came racked out with lockable tool chest, plenty of room inside and has a ladder system on the roof to get your ladders on and off easily. Also has two 3m lockable pipe carriers. MOT for a year, service history (36K mileage) and get around 27 mpg for under £3000. If I cant get work plumbing I can do removals! (if anyone sells a house!!)
