Hi everyone, the funds are in place and I'm now looking for a Syncro... I owned one back in the mid nineties (a rhd twin sliding door panel van, E487XHL) and I'm now looking to own again. Anyone selling?

Yup, that's me...
Can anyone give an opinion on the importance of a having front diff lock? How much difference to my life will it make?

It helps....but can be retro fitted if you find a perfect van exept for the front locker.

Obviously you may think I'm being biased but.... I have been stuck, engaged rear locker and driven out. I have never as yet been stuck with rear in, engaged front and driven out.

If you really want a front locker then I'm sure Jason (Hugo monkey) can sort one out for you.

I'm not going to go into a sales pitch, but you are welcome to pop over for a chat or to have just to have a nose around both of mine. :ok

You've got two? My first one had a front locker and I can see the advantage of having one in a vehicle with limited suspension travel although since then my off road driving style has matured.
Yep, will give you a buzz tomorrow, are you busy over the weekend?

I'm only selling the Caravelle because I have a Westy syncro. I love the Caravelle but I have to be realistic. :(

Pretty busy at the weekend but I'm about Monday during the day. Give me a call and we can have a chat.
