I know its a total shot in the dark - but just in case - There is an Alfa 156 2.4 JTD 20v there that I am looking more info from the dealer who are being slow at getting back to me - wondered if anyone was passing could they peek over the fence and see what colour it is and if it has leather or not !

That would be awesome

If its any good (As in - if it actually has a leather interior and is black) Ill fire them a deposit and get it next week

I was up that way the other day as well..

I couldent go today... but Ill defenatly go tomorrow :-)

I was tempted to wind you up a bit and sat I saw it, loved it and have bought it... but decided thats too much of a dick thing to do

The leather interior really makes them imo

Cheers for going and having a look

I was hoping for black with red leather - will have to keep looking !!

7.5 ton lorries too big ?

Theres a lot of class 2 stuff doing the rounds cheap as well for some reason ATM

Have had a couple of sprinters. Theyre actually pretty good fun to drive - relatively quick for a van

had a 416CDi for a bit and it was better than any transit, by a long shot

we have both sprinters ( new and old shape) and transits at work and we are moving from transits, on an old shape hire sprinter from TLS we but 180,000 miles on it from new, and it only needed service items and one lot of brakes, we on the same amount of miles two of the transits had drivechains snap taking the engine with it.

a 53plate van from new has had  new engine, 4-5 new shocks, gears, abs system, gearbox, clutch, all the pulleys and tensioners replaces twice ( one was Dunstons Jennings  fault) and lots of minor silly thing that keep them off the road for a few hours.

Transits have a nicer sitting position that the old sprinters, but the new shape are about the same, sadly new shape sprinters dont seem as bomb proof as the older shape.
