Just spotted this on the bay of fleas - might be worth a look ? apparently only needs front drive shafts... famous last words.

Its a van with a poor fit out inside, the description of it and the reason why the drive shafts are missing is nonsense, DJ fuel efficient ..... never! 30mpg at motorway speeds ......

Ill wager the front diff is knackered and the prop is missing.

Yeah, thought the same as Syncropaddy about the drive shafts / diff / prop.... still might be worth a pop if its cheap enough. Its not far from me so I might try and have a look.

Hope they havn't removed the entire front drive shafts as if the outer CV joint is missing whats holding the front hub to the bearing, just a light press fit?

Don't like that at all.
Lies about mpg, what else? Drive train sounds a 'mare. Isn't even clear that its a syncro gearbox. Wanted to run 2wd but after a dodgy, bubbling(very recent) blow over, wanted to put 4wd stickers on. :?
Has anyone been & had alook?

:run
