love the van, they were well made and thought out with a few modern mods should make a great van ,what should you look for in purchasing one and how many mpg ,is it swb mwb which makes parking ideal you got one thing id like power steering which aint a common thing on the petrol ones think all the diesel have power steering just subscribed be interesting to see what you do with the van upgrade wise not too much so not great expense you sure get your moneys worth with the talbots ,not stupid money like most and not built like that a tidy little van cheers sam
@VanOnTour24 күн бұрын
Thanks Sam. They are more like a medium wheelbase but they fit in normal car spaces just. Yes the power steering is a great difference compared to not having it in these vans. I've only got 2 more mods to do, diesel heater and a Lifepo4 battery going in this week. You need to look out for rust on these vans, normally the inner wings and the shuttle panel but these are available new. After some servicing and tweaking I can get 30mpg on a run on the petrol vans.

@@VanOnTour thanks for reply ,i aint having any luck with modern vans ,not reliable and expensive to mend as computer controlled ,the older vehicle easier to work on so cheaper and your mpg is impressive ,the modern van wont live as long as your talbot that i can guarantee so thats why im looking for a older van and they are well thought out got everything you need a wise choice and i see you've owned one before so they cant be that bad 😁

Nice Campervan, great order for it's age. My Talbot Express (93) is similar but different layout, I'm around 5 ft 10 and have to lye down from corner to corner (partially unto the front seat) to sleep with the bed set up like that. I've always wondered if my van was narrower. I'd have preferred a petrol engine tbh, I've a big bill coming, new head, glow plugs, water pump and Timing belt being fitted; the old head did the gasket in because it had a crack in it apparently. New sills and other work cost me a small fortune three years ago. I've had it almost six years and have so much invested in it that I will probably keep it until it craps out...at least it's still on the road I guess and still much cheaper than anything newer. Good to see you two uploading again :)

Then took apart again to clean for soot, Thought that was clogged again from soot pipe, From this point hr started to work 5 minutes blowing cold air and coming with 03. I quit. Bought a new one.

Made it for about 3-4 inch, Some bubbles still a coming, But heater finally works. You gonna say it was about the clamps, Some air came thru pump...

Really impressed with what you’ve achieved. I’ve owned my Expert for 12 years but chose an ex-wheelchair converted Citroen Dispatch, to convert. as it’s all glass, to sides and rear, so less claustrophobic, plus it comes already trimmed with a proper headliner, which suits me. - the dropped floor is boarded over leaving great storage underneath. Loved the way you presented this - dead relaxed and so helpful. Wonder if you still have it?

I can start it but I did notice before that, that the fuel filter looks dirty. I may just change that and check for sludge in the tank as well. Do you think that may help also.? I never would have thought about the wind. That may very well be the problem. That van is still rocking as I write this.

As long as you drive them nice and steady the and don't expect much in acceleration 69BHP I can get 42mpg on long run. The engines are pretty much bullet proof, regular quality oil and filter changes, and the cam belt when needed and its good to go. I'd rather drive this than a modern car with all the electronic rubbish they have.
