THIS IS MY LDV MAXUS TOUR BUS WHICH HAS TAKEN ME ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WITH VARIOUS BANDS/ARTISTS

BASED ON THE LONG WHEELBASE TURBO 3.5 CDi MODEL,YOU WILL FIND HER TO HAVE ALL THE POWER YOU NEED FOR THOSE LONG HAUL'S BUT WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO TACKLE THE HIGHLANDS AND LOWLANDS AS WELL AS BEING AT HOME IN THE CITY

THE LOW ROOF MAKES IT IDEAL FOR CAR PARKS WITH A HEIGHT BARRIER AND PARKING AS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE

THIS CARRIES MORE THAN THE LONG WHEELBASE TRANSIT THAT I HAD PRIOR TO OWNING THIS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT LOADED WITH NO SWAYING AROUND OR TAIL DRAGGING. I HAVE CARRIED FULL LIGHTING RIGS AND P.A SYSTEMS AS WELL AS 6 BAND MEMBERS AND THEIR LUGGAGE

MECHANICALLY IT'S FIRST CLASS AND BECAUSE IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER AS WELL AS BEING FAR FROM HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH A BAND THAT HAS A DEADLINE TO MEET,THEN I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT ON TOP OF ITS SERVICING WITH REGULAR OIL AND FILTER CHANGES ETC

I HAVE HAD A FULL LDV CLUTCH FITTED ON THE 16th JUNE 2009 AT A COST OF £526 AND THE ASSOCIATED CLUTCH ARM REPLACED WITH THE UPGRADED HEAVY DUTY ITEM

NEW FRONT DISCS,PADS AND REAR BRAKE SHOES HAVE JUST BEEN FITTED ON THE 13th JULY FOR THE M.O.T WHICH IT SAILED THROUGH ,SO SHE IS TESTED TILL 31st JULY 2010

VARIOUS OTHER ITEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS NEEDED (ie TURBO AIR PIPE,RADIATOR HOSE) TO MAKE SURE I GET HOME

VERY ECONOMICAL ON FUEL FOR SUCH A BIG VAN AND I RECKON SHE'S DOING AROUND 35MPG.JUST BEEN DOWN TO BATH FROM MY WAKEFIELD BASE AND I USED JUST LESS THAN £50 TO GET THERE AND BACK AND RUN AROUND WHILST THERE.

PRIOR TO THAT,FOUR DAYS TOURING WALES,ABERYSTWYTH AREA,ONCE AGAIN,FROM YORKSHIRE,FULL TANK £80

GLEAMING WHITE BODYWORK WITH MINOR SOFT MARKS AS THEY DON'T HAVE THE THICKEST OF BODY PANELS,BUT WITH THE COLOUR YOU CAN ONLY SEE THEM WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE VAN, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT YOUR USUAL BUILDERS VAN AND PRIOR TO ME OWNING IT,HAD BEEN USED FOR TRANSPORTING COMPUTERS AND I.T EQUIPMENT

I HAVE FITTED AN LDV REAR STEP,STAINLESS FRONT BAR AND SHE NOW HAS 16inch LDV FACTORY ALLOYS ALL AROUND AND NOT THE STAINLESS TRIMS AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES,THERE ARE FIVE OF THESE EXPENSIVE ALLOYS SO YOU HAVE ONE FOR THE SPARE. ALL HAVE GOOD TYRES

THE INSIDE IS VERY CLEAN AS YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH 4 EXTRA LDV SEATS TO THE REAR. THESE ALL HAVE FULL 3 POINT SEAT-BELTS. ALL THE SEATS HAVE GREY WASHABLE COVERS, BUT UNDERNEATH THE SEATS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH NO RIPS,TEARS OR BURNS. THERE IS A PARTITION BEHIND THE REAR SEATS TO STOP THE LOAD COMING FORWARD,AND THE TOP SECTION HAS A CLOTH CURTAIN WHICH IS HANDY FOR GETTING LONG ITEMS IN,(EASILY CARRIES ROLLS OF CARPET ETC). TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE LOAD AREA, IN THIS LAYOUT YOU SEE HERE,WITH ALL THAT REAR LEGROOM,YOU CAN STILL GET A THREE SEATER SETTEE AND TWO CHAIRS IN THE BACK WITH ROOM TO SPARE.

THERE IS A ROOF MOUNTED D.V.D PLAYER WITH AN EXTRA SCREEN FOR THE FRONT PASSENGERS. THIS CURRENTLY PLAYS THROUGH THE 4 SPEAKER CAR STEREO SYSTEM TO GIVE A FULL THEATRE EFFECT. THIS HAS A REMOTE FOR THE REAR PASSENGERS.

THE RADIO ALSO GIVES FULL CONTROL OF YOUR iPOD AND HAS A DEDICATED CONNECTION AND NOT JUST A SMALL PHONO PLUG.YOU CAN SCROLL THROUGH ARTISTS SONGS ALBUMS ETC OR PLAY RANDOM TRACKS. I HAVE MY iPOD TUCKED AWAY OUT OF SIGHT AND IT IS FULLY CONTROLLED FROM THE HEAD UNIT WHICH DISPLAYS THE TRACK AND ARTIST.

I WILL PROBABLY REMOVE THIS AND RE-INSTATE THE LDV CD/RADIO,PURELY BECAUSE I FIND IT AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF KIT AND I AM LOATHED TO LET IT GO. NO MORE NEED TO HAVE ALL YOUR CD'S CLUTTERING UP YOUR DASH ETC. IF I WAS PERSUADED TO LEAVE IT IN YOU WOULD NEED YOUR OWN IPOD, BUT THE HEAD UNIT ALSO HAS A FLIP DOWN FRONT SO YOU COULD STILL PLAY YOUR CD'S ANYWAY. ONCE AGAIN THIS COMES WITH A FULL REMOTE FOR THE REAR PASSENGERS

A TOM-TOM ONE SAT NAV IS WIRED IN

GREEN MOOD LIGHTING GIVES AN OVERALL NICE GLOW TO THE INSIDE

THE REASON I AM SELLING HER IS SIMPLE, AS WITH THE SMILEY TRANSIT I HAD PRIOR TO OWNING THIS,I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO UPGRADE TO SOMETHING A LITTLE LARGER,PURELY BECAUSE THE LEVEL AND STANDARD OF BANDS AND ARTISTS I AM NOW DEALING WITH WILL SHORTLY CHANGE AND I NEED TO KEEP PROVIDING A GREAT SERVICE. A NEW SPLITTER VAN/BUS IS ON ITS WAY

HERE YOU CAN SEE MORE PICTURES AND GET MORE INFO

www.valleytrucking.org

THIS COULD BE TURNED INTO YOUR OWN BUSINESS DEALING WITH LOCAL BANDS/GROUPS/ARTIST'S WHO EITHER CANT DRIVE OR ARE RELIANT ON PARENTS ETC, IT ALSO ENABLES THEM TO RELAX MORE KNOWING THEY DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TRANSPORT ECT. I HAVE ALSO DONE MANY AIRPORT RUNS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS WELL AS COLLECTING FORIEGN BANDS WHO ARE TOURING THIS COUNTRY

IF YOU VISIT www.valleytrucking.org YOU WILL SEE MY DIARY DATES, BUT YOU CAN ALSO SEE MORE PICS AND DETAILS ON MYSPACE WHICH WILL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF IDEA'S

ALL IN ALL A SUPER WORKHORSE WHICH EASILY DOUBLES AS EVERYDAY TRANSPORT AND MAYBE WOULD SUIT A LARGER FAMILY AS A DAY-VAN CAMPER PROJECT

IF YOU REQUIRE ANY MORE INFO OR PICTURES THEN YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON 07932 534429. THE VAN IS BASED IN WEST YORKSHIRE,CLOSE TO ALL THE MOTORWAY NETWORKS

WHILST I'M HERE, DO YOU KNOW WHERE I COULD FIND A NICE TRANSIT CONNECT OR SIMILAR ?? JUST THOUGHT ID ASK THANKS AND GOOD LUCK
