plumbersvan Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 8-) I got an sms to say the owner of a hymer i saw last November called to say i could have it at price i thought more appropriate (lol) *-) Its got 5 diesel cylinders mercadies which he thought most important *-) What attracted me to it was the vast shower room the gas hot water boiler by Traumatic the cavernous storage for my cloths and storage for shoes 8-) not to mention a vast dining table :-S I didnt look at it for long as he refused to reduce the price and others had arrived to look(In November) I want the shower;the storage; but not the engine :-( It seems i will have to fit a thing to prevent pollution 8-) Which will cost a fortune and be stollen daily by scrap collectors 8-) Today in the Landry (as its rainning/drizzel) i read the Germans told sarkozy to add an pollution tax which it said two years ago would have been 17 eurocents but was rejected by the French parliament :-D Now it seems its a euro rule imposed by Brussels and will be 37 euro cent per liter 8-) 8-) I do desperately wish for a hot shower room & vast storage space :-D But not all the uncertainties :-| Once again im in a dreadful hurry should i tell them to buy it for me or not (?) I would rather be there to look at it again perhaps i better wait until im back (?) Or is it a chance to good to miss??? 8-) I read my post.It is dreadful 8-) Perhaps becouse ive been speaking and reading in French all week :-| :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 sounds like it is an old van that needs extensive work to allow it to pass emissions, LEZ etc... Make sure you get quotes for the work and price reflects it.........last I heard the work was approx £3000? But better of doing some serious homework as van may be near worthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 And, IIRC, your current van is a petrol and so is exempt from the London emissions charge (LEZ). Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 JudgeMental - 2012-01-27 4:31 PM sounds like it is an old van that needs extensive work to allow it to pass emissions, LEZ etc... Make sure you get quotes for the work and price reflects it.........last I heard the work was approx £3000? But better of doing some serious homework as van may be near worthless Not sure of the figures, but there is also an annual cost associated these filters. Around £300 per annum IIRC. IMO there could be a glut of older Motorhomes coming on to the market around London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugga Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If he hasn't sold it since November, I doubt he will be selling it very quick. I would wait until you get back over here and have another look at it before you make up your mind. If he contacted you, he is desperate, so tell him to wait and put off the decision until you see it for a second time. Even then you need to really think about it. There is always another motorhome, there will always be another Hymer! Good Luck :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symbol Owner Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The 'search' facility seems to reveal, Judge, that this poster is Fiona Adams, whose 'noms des plumes' have been: 'Alf stone', Alf Stonehouse' and 'plumbersvan' (at least - but there may be more!) -- not to be confused with 'Alf' -- who would appear to be male & unrelated! Certainly ' Alf Stone' reported an incident of filling up a water tank with red wine last year! The fun continues -- keep posting Alfiona -- we love it! Colin.

Keithl Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 And 'plumbersvan's first post implied she had been on here before and lost her password Link to first post. Also 'Alf Stone' posts in exactly the same manner as 'plumbersvan', has had trouble with her fridge and uses McD's and coffee shops for WiFi to post Link to Alf Stone's post. So come on Fiona Adams, you don't fool us :D :D :D Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
