You’ll be grand. The only things I can’t get in my Vito are Multistradas, even with mirrors & screen removed.
I used to pop my GasGas ec300 in my Vito for Green laning. Other bikes included a 749, Monster, KTM 790 the most awkward was a Honda Transalp which required mirror removal.
It’s the mounts the screen fixes to, they, and the brake reservoir are just too high by about 50mm to get in.
This looks interesting, lowish miles for it's age and V6, if I had room I'd buy this. https://ebay.us/m/895aTw
I don't know, its described as a "tired body" with red paint lacquer peel and totally corroded wheels. Plus despite spending a £3200 on the engine and it still smokes like a train. A Vivaro is slower for sure but how fast do you want to go in your van?
It's Red mostly it fades or in this case the clear coat peels. I"d probably just wrap it. The wheels I'd refurb in some way. I'd only buy it as a track day/day van conversion. I'm must have missed in the description it 'smoking like train' or is that you exaggerating? I'd like to know by how much it smokes and what colour should I have been in a position to purchase. I drive about 1500 miles a week in my vans mostly at 60-65 anything faster in the UK is pointless. Unless of course I need to accelerate quickly in a bind which at that speed on certain roads is very useful. Pretty sure a V6 would give me that. However for the Alps I'd prefer to be much quicker. There are many reasons I wouldn't buy a Renault/Vivaro van, the glaring one is it's looks for me.
The seller says: However! Despite all this work and the van running well with no fault codes, the vehicle is still smoking due to it overfuelling for some reason. After spending £3K to try & fix it... The power to hill climb in the alps would be handy for sure. I agree the Vivaro's best point is not its styling! LOL. TBH the main reason I bought mine is the side opening. I would have probably bought any van that had that feature.
Still don't see the 'smoking like a train' in his description which I still don't in your copy and paste.
Very true. But I've never met anyone who overstates their engine smoking in a vehicle advert, whereas the reverse is extremely common. Hell, most people don't mention smoking engine at all and try to fake surprise if a buyer does! The probability -imo- is that if £3K has not cured it, the old man knew that the next step was pretty expensive. But I could be wrong!
