LDV going down the pan ???????? NEWS FLASH THEY HAVE GONE TITS UP !!

[COZZFATHER]

never really liked then tbh,i could never get my head round the sherpa and the ldv 200 being the same thing,the 400 was a poor copy of a transit twin wheeler,and when ldv dropped in a tranny donkey it confirmed to me a tranny was by far the better vans no question. still its a shame 6000 uk workers could be on the rock and role because of a useless labour regime

we always used to have these at work, the build quality was shite and so were the vehicles the interiors always seemed to be about 3/4 yrs behind other manufacturers,real basic and old fashioned

i think youve summed it up nicely guys !!! think only the post office has kept em going this long... they were a piece of crap.

[Kelv]

we always used to have a lovely fleet of Bright yellow British Rail Sherpa's back in the early 90's, they were horrid to drive.

havent they applied to the Government for a £13 Million loan to help them out!?

that slimey useless twat mandelson has been on the bloke who owns ldv's boat. i honestly think if the yanks bail out their auto workers and manufacturers the british goverment should of done more or the same to safeguard jobs.

LDV was never a very good van. Transit rules the roost for price and what you get for your money.

Sprinters are the daddys but cost a fortune, VW's are good but you cant get a lease to cover the full cost as the lease company even think there vans are over priced!!!

Yep I think youre right... uk government should have done more to help the uk car industry... after all it is a massive part of our infrastructure... the yanks do take their car industry seriously and are trying to safeguard jobs.

Here its been too little too late a few pence off VAT and that oughta do it !!!

Yep.... for years all we do is look after everyone else when they come over here and give money to other countries ... now the world is in meltdown, the rest of the world is looking out for themselves and we are left .... fooked.

I think there'll be even bigger names going tits up this year too....

come on then lets all tell about our LDV moments

We had two lol, o yes, we went back for another one for some reason.

First one was a 2.0 LDV, went well for a van, but the engine blew up and the steering rack was always going so we sold that.

Second was a N plate nick named Big Loader lol

It was a huge van, went like a lada and had really bouncy suspension. More play in the steering than on a old bus and over heated for a past time!!!

I ended up getting the N plate stuck in the lanes once as it was not man enough to back up a very small incline!!! then it started heating up! God that van was so wank. Never, ever will we own one of them again. My dad everynow and then see's one and the price, and starts mentioning them lol fuck that. He always loses that battle.

Also on that N reg, the engine was fully rebuilt under warranty, full brakes, and full drive train replaced. Thats how shit it was

Sold up for Transits which took the piss out of the LDV, then moved on to Sprinters, Vw's and still the faithful Transit tippers
