Commercial d1

My d1 commercial.

New to this sorry this is my new commercial it needs a boot floor and is starships mileage but its mine and paid for.

Looks good to me, no sunroofs is a bonus, seats can be fitted if need be, check for rust on sills, inner wings, rear body x-member. Welcome to the mad house, Everybody here likes pics so the more the merrier.

Thanks, the sills have been welded and seem ok.It had a full mot in December and the left arch is disconnected from the inner arch.It needs boot floor and sides and I put a patch on the chassis.Apart from that it seems ok.

Chassis on these don't really go, I had a disco a couple of years back, the whole left chassis rail from the front ARB to the rear ARB had been patched, must have got full of mud at some point n never washed out. I cut up a 200tdi chassis a couple of weeks back and it was immaculate inside. Bought another disco last week and the chassis is fantastic on that aswell. Mileage doesn't really matter, has the fuel pump been played with?

I don't know if pump has been played.I don't drive fast but if I put my foot to the floor hard in first or second it puts big black cloud out.I don't know anything about engines or mods to be honest.

Lots of them do anyway. On top of the fuel injection pump there's a small tamper-proof seal. You will soon see if anybody has been there.
As for not knowing about engines n stuff, you soon will!

Thanks ill see if its been played with.

Nice looking Commercial, I think they look so right.

It looks as if it's earning its living, no problem there... if starts every morning and runs ok, it's water tight and warn inside when required and passes the MOT what more do you require.
I like it and look after her do for her what ever she requires, bless her...

It did work for a living not anymore that was the previous owner.The reason I bought this is because I had one I did work for a living but it needed to much work and I was skint so I had to sell it.Always regretted it and said if I ever saw another I would buy it.I now have a little time and money so I kept my promise.Pick of the old one.

Disco and an MT good combination you on the MT site?

Sure there was a laddo on their recently

Ahhh I get you now, yes that's me as well.

Old floor out and lots to do.

Good looking truck mate. Lovely colour
If you've got smoke and mileage, see to the head gasket before you get any real harm. Could be anything else, of course, and it'll probably go on forever anyway. Almost regret doing mine, it cooks the clutch, but I've got some other drivetrain issues.

I'd love one of them, but living inside the M25 I can't afford the hundred quid a day or the work to make it compliant.
