WANTED - TRANSIT SMILEY 190TDI TIPPER
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:49 pmHi there,
I'm after a tidy smiley transit 190tdi tipper.
I've been to look at one today, travelling 400 miles round trip and after asking all the prudent questions like "are there any oil leaks" and told NO...when I got there I found a pretty solid truck but after going for a run there was oil pi_ _ ng out of the bottom of the engine.
Also the engine was a badly fitted replacement Tdi into a DI truck but without the wiring loom, the thrust bearing was squealing and the turbo wasn't working. It's a shame really because it was scabby but solid and honest bodied and @ £1,700 I wanted the truck but sadly it wouldn't have made it back to the midlands.
So if you have a nice one preferrably with an ally back body.....I have cash waiting, or I would consider a good chassis cab and put my own back on it
